Knygos aprašymas

Griffith J. Griffith, born in South Wales in 1850, emigrated to America in 1866, moved to San Francisco in 1873, became a mining correspondent for the Alta California newspaper, accumulated a fortune, bought much of the former Rancho Los Feliz, married well, and donated 3,015 acres of his rancho land—Griffith Park—to the City of Los Angeles in 1896. In 1903, during a moment of “alcoholic insanity,” he shot his wife and subsequently spent two years in San Quentin. After his release, Griffith sobered up, worked a redemption, and donated another 1,000 acres along the Los Angeles River to the City. Upon his death in 1919, he bequeathed the bulk of his $1.5 million estate to build the Greek Theater and the Griffith Observatory.
