Two photographers, Edward Watson and Ansel Adams, led a campaign in California to restore photography to its artistic merits by focusing on the beauty found in nature, especially the outdoors around Carmel and Yosemite Valley. The construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct between 1905 to 1913 brought water to Los Angeles from the Owens Valley, irrigating the San Fernando Valley and making LA the most productive farm region in America. In 1848, carpenter James Marshall discovered gold near Sutter's sawmill while building a millrace in Coloma, California, triggering the California Gold Rush.
CAPT. GEO FLAVEL -- WRECK & PERIL OF THE GEN'L WARREN -- LONG FORMRoch Steinbach
THIS IS THE SAME GRIPPING TALE told with CONTEMPORARY MAPS of the Mouth of the Columbia River !! A tale of the dangers of Pacific coast travel in the 1850's, before e there was any COAST GUARD PRESENCE on the river. The tale of the WRECK & PERIL of the GENERAL WARREN was a needless disaster occasioned by pride & foolhardiness; and triggered a daring sea-rescue gone wrong on the bar, at the mouth of the Columbia River, January, 1852.
THE SHIPWRECK WAS the virtually inevitable outcome of an unregulated shipping industry exploited by Pacific coast capitalists working the "coasting trade" between the newly recognized Oregon Territory and the equally untested State of California. The vessel that went down -- the General Warren -- was an 1844 screw steamer that left service in New York in 1850, and arrived in San Francisco on July 20, 1851: she was just one of a number of old tubs that were sailed around the Cape during the gold excitement in California. The disaster was entirely preventable -- and in fact was foreseen by a machinist who declined to accept work on the voyage outbound from Astoria: the voyage that wrecked the "General Warren". The story here is approximately as told in the papers of Oregon historian Fred Lockley.

Hadj Ounis's most notable work is his sculpture titled "Metamorphosis." This piece showcases Ounis's mastery of form and texture, as he seamlessly combines metal and wood to create a dynamic and visually striking composition. The juxtaposition of the two materials creates a sense of tension and harmony, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between nature and industry.
