  Rollin M. Daggett Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
As a young miner in the California gold rush, Rollin M. Daggett settled in San Francisco and in 1852 was cofounder of the Golden Era, a literary journal that for half a century was a powerful force on the West Coast.
Born in 1831 in Defiance, Ohio, Rollin Mallory Daggett was orphaned at age eleven and was reared by a sister.
Daggett and his fellow editor Charles C. Goodwin were outraged, and on 14 July 1878 the Territorial Enterprise devoted its entire front page to a documented exposé of the backgrounds, business affairs, sex habits, and disreputable characters of Leslie and his wife.

 Daggett Museum - Daggett California   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Daggett was founded in the 1860's, fifteen years before the filing of Waterman's claim and the discovery of silver six miles north in the Calico Mountains now known as the town of Calico
The finding of silver in Calico and the building of the Southern Pacific Railroad from Mojave to Daggett in 1882, set the stage for history of a town originally called Calico Junction but renamed after John Daggett (Lieutenant Governor of California 1882-1886) in the spring of 1883, to avoid confusion.
By 1902, Daggett was supported by three borax mines employing 200 men and had three stores, three saloons, two chinese restaurants, a railroad, a drug store, a lumber yard, and the old Stone Hotel.

 [No title]
Co., 380 U.S. 253 (1965), it was free to close its Daggett, California facility so long as the closure did not chill unionism at its remaining facilities--evidence which it alleges the General Counsel did not show.
Citing the well-known downturn in the national economy, and in that of California in particular, the Respondent argues that its decision to close the Daggett facility was the result of a change in the nature and direction of its business.
Because the Respondent did not prove in general that California expenses exceeded revenues, nor specifically that the expenses attendant to operating the Daggett facility exceeded those which would have been incurred in any event, and because the Respondent continues to do business in California, I conclude that its economic defense is false.

Large scale applications of photovoltaic for power generation, either on the rooftops of houses or in large fields connected to the utility grid are promising as well to provide clean, safe and strategically sound alternatives to current methods of electricity generation.
In Chapter 2, we discuss the effects of the atmospheric processes that modify the incoming solar energy, how it is measured, and techniques used by designers to predict the amount of solar energy available at a particular location, both instantaneously and over a long term.
Four types of solar concentrators are in common use; parabolic troughs (as used in the Kramer Junction, California solar energy electricity generating plant shown in Figure 1.1), parabolic dishes, central receivers and Fresnel lenses.
