The article titled “Bears, Bandits and Bridges Highlight Arroyo Story” (http://dbase1.lapl.org/webpics/calindex/documents/10/520274.pdf) appeared in the August 4, 1957 News Herald & Journal.  Written by Wilfrid Dellquest it paints a vivid picture of the early days of the Arroyo Seco.  Just check out the section titles:

  • The Camels Were Coming
  • The Bandit Vasquez
  • Bears and Bulls
  • Sin Comes to the Arroyo
  • Bridges over the Arroyo
If these titles intrigue you, read the article.
