There's "The Winning of Barbara Worth", a novel written by Harold Bell Wright in 1911 about creation of a massive irrigation system in the Imperial Valley, the eastern part of San Diego county, during the early 20th century. It was well-considered in its time, but is little-known to today's reader and perhaps deservedly so, due to its escoteric subject and the fact that it isn't very well-written.
However, it is dear to the heart of my own family because my great-great Aunt Gertrude gained a certain amount of fame by playing the part of the heroine on stage when she was a member of a traveling group of actors who performed melodramas across the Southwest in the 1910's.
Well, you DID ask!
