Duarte

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Duarte

Mexican Army veteran Andres Duarte was granted 6,595 acres along the southern foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in 1841 by the governor of Alta California. Rancho Azusa de Duarte eventually was carved into 40-acre parcels, and arriving families from the East and Midwest built schools, installed water lines, and grew crops. By 1900, two major rail lines served the area's thriving citrus industry. Duarte's beneficial climate led to the establishment in 1913 of a tuberculosis sanitarium, which became City of Hope, the world-class cancer treatment center. Bandleader Glenn Miller settled in Duarte. The city's location along old U.S. Route 66 brought many visitors to and through town. A strongly independent civic spirit led to a momentous 1987 U. S. Supreme Court decision to disallow the expulsion of the Duarte Rotary from Rotary International for admitting three women. As for Andres Duarte, he is commemorated by a 2007 bronze equestrian statue, located across Huntington Drive from the city hall that bears his name.

Arrozales sangrientos

Libro Arrozales sangrientos

Durante más de diez años Vietnam resonó en la cabeza de toda una generación que vio cómo, de repente, todo lo que conocía y le era familiar cambiaba. Había luchado contra el comunismo, que amenazaba con destruir sus costumbres más arraigadas, y el comunismo ya no existía salvo en zonas aisladas. Había visto cómo los políticos se enzarzaban en discusiones sobre el reparto de Europa, y «el muro» que partía Berlín, lo que constituía la separación física de ambos bandos y dos concepciones de vida diametralmente distintas, había caído. Esa generación, la primera que veía una ...
