With the help of Secretary of Interior James Garfield, they secured water rights on the Tuolumne River in 1908. Construction of the dam and reservoir at Hetch Hetchy didn't begin till 1914, after a fierce battle between environmentalists (led by John Muir) and the city. 15" x 10" (Prag Collection) City: San Francisco State: California Date: 1910 ID# 34701
