The McCallum Centennial - Palm Springs' founding family.

By W.H. Bowart with Julie Hector, Sally Mall McManus and Elizabeth Coffman Kieley for the Palm Springs Historical Society

The founding of Palm Springs might be placed at that moment in time when the educated son of an industrious Scottish farmer stood near the Indian Village of Agua Caliente at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains. Looking out across the desert he thought: "This land would be valuable if water should be brought upon it . . ." Little did he know how prophetic were his thoughts.
