Jonathan Kwitny On Endless Enemies 1984

On August 9, 1978, Don Ray and William Thomas interviewed former Santa Paula, California, motorcycle officer Thornton Edwards about his role in saving the lives of hundreds of people as the floodwaters of the collapse of the St. Francis Dam headed toward the town in the predawn hours of March 13, 1928.
After the historical interview, they asked Thornton to talk about his life. He had come west from Maine to pursue a career as a motion picture actor.
In this track, he talks about experiences while working on a steamboat in Missouri, and about working briefly on a cattle ranch.

Thornton Edwards tells of riverboat and ranchhand jobs.

Harrison Gray Otis and his son-in-law, Harry Chandler, ran the Los Angeles Times -- and through The Times, they ran the city of Los Angeles.
