Title: Palm Springs history celebrated Author: Terria Smith Publisher: The Desert Sun Date: 2/27/09 A new book commemorating a history of Palm Springs in photographs hit the shelves this month. "Images of America Palm Springs" includes 200 historical photographs dating back to 1876. The book was compiled by Moya Henderson, a Palm Springs resident of 70 years, along with the Palm Springs Historical Society. It's published by Arcadia Publishing. The Palm Springs Sun recently talked with Henderson and Jeri Vogelsberg, director and curator at the Palm Springs Historical Society, about the task of putting the book together. QUESTION: How did the historical society get all of the pictures for the book? Henderson: Since we started the historical society, people have donated (photos). And we're always happy to get more, especially when we can figure (out) what they're about. When people pass away we get them. We have to go through them and try to identify who's in them. Was the task of putting the book together difficult? Vogelsberg: It took about six months to complete the book. Henderson: When it came to putting the book together, the pictures weren't in any logical order from the calendars I had done. It was just getting them in the right sequence and the stories behind them. The publisher had a page limit, a word limit per page. It made it hard to work within the restrictions. It didn't seem like much when we started out, but we've never done this sort of thing before. How was Palm Springs in the early days different from the city today? Henderson: You could ride your horse or bicycles down Palm Canyon Drive. ... We had horses, rodeos. At one time there were 17 stables in Palm Springs.
Synopsis
Nestled beneath the San Jacinto Mountains in an oasis of palm trees is a mineral hot springs. For thousands of years, this was the winter home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, the original inhabitants of this harsh desert region. A U.S. government survey party discovered the spring in 1853 and identified the area located at the base of "two bunches of palms." In 1884, Judge John McCallum of San Francisco purchased land near the springs for $800 and built the first adobe structure, which still stands today. Stage lines and railroads provided transportation through the area, bringing in visitors year-round. Dr. Welwood Murray built the first Palm Springs Hotel, and in 1909, Nellie Coffman built The Desert Inn, which would become famous as a tourist attraction. This was the beginning of the area's major industry. Today Palm Springs is still a destination for visitors throughout the year and home to a growing population of permanent residents., Nestled beneath the San Jacinto Mountains in an oasis of palm trees is a mineral hot springs.
