In 1872, Gold Hill businessman Duane L. Bliss moved his family to Carson City and built a summer home at the small village of Glenbrook, on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. Anyone interested in the history of Lake Tahoe will wish to read this book especially for the story of the transition of the lake from a lumber enterprise to a haven from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
