About the Author

Carol A. Jensen, a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area and Lake Tahoe and author of Arcadia Publishing's The California Delta, depicts the opening of Lake Tahoe's west shore and the romance of vacation getaway for magnates, movie stars, and modern adventurers. Here, we visit the Rubicon Bay Gold Coast, the Foursquare Church Tahoma-Cedars Retreat, Civil War general Phipps's homestead, President McKinley's Forest Preserve, Tahoe Tavern, Lake Tahoe Railroad and Transportation Company, and more. Jensen presents vintage images--many never before published--from private collections and archives, such as the North Lake Tahoe Historical Society, the Tahoe Yacht Club, and the California State Library.
