Follow on Google News | Costco to Host Book Signings for Local Shaver, Huntington, and Hume Lakes AuthorsSteven D. Harrison and Michael J. Semas will be available to sign copies of pictorial history
The Shaver and Huntington Lakes area has a rich history that is well documented in photographs. This new pictorial history shares images, the majority of which come from the authors’ private collections, of the Sierra Nevada of Fresno County and its rich natural resources. Stories about the logging operations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the building of dams and millponds, such as Hume Lake, sawmills, railroads and two of the longest flumes in the world, are included in the book. Authors Steven D. Harrison and Michael J. Semas also share the stories of the 20th century and the formation of Shaver and Huntington lakes. Images tell the history of Southern California Edison Company’s Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, which resulted in the creation of several lakes, including Shaver and Huntington and a series of powerhouses for hydroelectric power. These lakes provided new venues for fishing and boating. Included here are epic stories told with historical postcards of logging, electricity and leisure in the Central Sierra Nevada within Fresno County.
