William Mulholland presided over the creation of a water system that forever changed the course of southern California's history. Mulholland, a self-taught engineer, was the chief architect of the Owens Valley Aqueduct--a project ranking in magnitude and daring with the Panama Canal--that brought water to semi-arid Los Angeles from the lush Owens Valley. The story of Los Angeles's quest for water is both famous and notorious: it has been the subject of the classic yet historically distorted movie Chinatown, as well as many other accounts. This first full-length biography of Mulholland challenges many of the prevailing versions of his life story and sheds new light on the history of Los Angeles and its relationship with its most prized resource: water.Catherine Mulholland, the engineer's granddaughter, provides insights into this story that family familiarity affords, and adds to our historical understanding with extensive primary research in sources such as Mulholland's recently uncovered office files, newspapers, and Department of Water and Power archives. She scrutinizes Mulholland's life--from his childhood in Ireland to his triumphant completion of the Owens Valley Aqueduct to the tragedy that ended his career. This vivid portrait of a rich chapter in the history of Los Angeles is enhanced with a generous selection of previously unpublished photographs.

Soft, warm, cozy
I absolutely love this blanket. It’s super soft, warm, and very comfortable to use. Perfect for relaxing, sleeping, or just cuddling up at home. The quality feels great and it’s definitely worth the price. Such a cozy purchase—would happily buy again. Thank you, seller! 🧺

So disappointed… thin and not bubbled or fluffy at all
I really tried to convince myself that it was a good buy for the price but honestly it’s thinner and less plush than the cheap Walmart throws. It’s soft I guess? But when you buy a bubble blanket you want that bouncy plushness and this is nowhere in the ballpark. The blankets we buy for the dogs are nicer and much cheaper. Epic fail.

So soft warm and beautiful!!!!
I have ordered approximately six blankets from you all and have been extremely pleased with each one of them! The colors are so beautiful and the blanket is so soft and warm! I love love the way this particular blanket is made. Not sure how to explain it but it is a little different from the rest of the blankets but whether you get this type or the other types of blankets on this site you will definitely be pleased! My next purchase will be a queen size. I wish they had a king size or even a queen size in this particular blanket but they don't. But I will be ordering a queen size soon. 100% recommend! This blanket is 100% for sure giftable but let me warn you, they are so pretty and soft that you will probably want to keep it yourself so you better order more than one LOL!

Cute, soft, and warm!
Color: Cow, Size: Throw(50"x60")
Super soft and super warm! This nice and thick blanket feels so nice when you wrap yourself up in it; and it’s just big enough to do exactly that!
I’ve washed it a few times and it comes out even softer and fluffier than when I put it in the washer; and no issues with losing fluff or thinning/tears.
I love the cow pattern too!
