Cerro Gordo

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Cerro Gordo

High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Libro El fin de la sociedad medieval y la peste negra

Este libro nos permite entender como la peste negra debilita las instituciones y pilares que sostenían el medioevo jerárquico y trascendente. La muerte de casi la mitad de la población europea mina la confianza en la Iglesia y los señores feudales, generando el paso a nuevas instituciones que se gestarán desde las cenizas de la Europa medieval. Se desarrolla una dimensión menos tratada por los historiadores: la Peste Negra como el fin del mundo medieval. El texto está apoyado por una selección de láminas y pinturas que ilustra cada tema.
