The California ghost town of Cerro Gordo was once legendary for its violence. Now, a mysterious fire has destroyed its famed American Hotel.
Should Inyo County rename a campground that has a derogatory name? A lawyer has made that his mission, angering many longtime residents of Lone Pine.
The house that was destroyed by fire on Monday once belonged to a man named William Crapo, who gunned down a postmaster as he walked along the dirt road skirting the American Hotel. “Only a week ago,” he added, “it commanded the center of town on a mountain with views of Owens Valley and the eastern Sierra Nevada to the west and Death Valley to the east.”
“That hurt a little bit,” said Underwood, the son of schoolteachers who was born and raised in Tampa, Fla.Shortly after he decided to wait out the coronavirus lockdown in Cerro Gordo, the area was buried in 5 feet of snow.After the snow melted, I was hospitalized with a bad case of appendicitis.” Life was short and hard in the area, which produced 4.5 million ounces of silver before declining precious-metal prices sunk the local economy, save for a zinc revival from 1911 to 1919.
