Fires were made from the scant fuel of the desert--the grease-brush--supper was cooked and eaten with little or nothing to drink, and then all prepared for the most pitiful experience that comes to the traveler, the passing of a night in a dry camp--a camp without water--a camp in which the cattle bawl, the men toss about, and mothers with DEATH VALLEY, NEAR EMIGRANTS' LAST CAMP. breaking hearts vainly strive to soothe the little ones wailing for want of drink. Wretched as was that last camp, its sufferings were but the prelude to the terrors of the coming day. With the first streak of light, the search for water and a pass'into the snow-capped range in the west were sought for. It was a hurried search from the first, a search that under the smiting rays of the sun quickly became feverish and at last delirious. Abandoning camp and wagons in their frenzy, the party separated, and in groups spread out to the north and the south along the face of the Panamints, walking over sand so hot that even the desert Arab, inured to its terrors, wraps his boots in sacks.when obliged to cross it at mid-day; over a marsh, covered with a crust through which the foot breaks to sink in corroding brine; climbing up gulches where the black rocks seared their hands and the stirring of the air was like a blast of flame. There were thirty souls in that party, of whom perhaps a dozen got beyond the Panamints. Of this number, a man named Towne, with his wife and one or two others, reached the Argus Range, and camped there while they killed a couple of oxen and dried the meat, saving one animal that Mrs. Towne might ride it. Bones of men who had tried to follow them across the Slate Range, but were unable to do so, were afterward found by prospectors. Sidney P....

Download or read book Death Valley and the Amargosa written by Richard E. Lingenfelter and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1988-01-11 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the history of Death Valley, where that bitter stream the Amargosa dies. It embraces the whole basin of the Amargosa from the Panamints to the Spring Mountains, from the Palmettos to the Avawatz. And it spans a century from the earliest recollections and the oldest records to that day in 1933 when much of the valley was finally set aside as a National Monument. This is the story of an illusory land, of the people it attracted and of the dreams and delusions they pursued-the story of the metals in its mountains and the salts in its sinks, of its desiccating heat and its revitalizing springs, and of all the riches of its scenery and lore-the story of Indians and horse thieves, lost argonauts and lost mine hunters, prospectors and promoters, miners and millionaires, stockholders and stock sharps, homesteaders and hermits, writers and tourists. But mostly this is the story of the illusions-the illusions of a shortcut to the gold diggings that lured the forty-niners, of inescapable deadliness that hung in the name they left behind, of lost bonanzas that grew out of the few nuggets they found, of immeasurable riches spread by hopeful prospectors and calculating con men, and of impenetrable mysteries concocted by the likes of Scotty. These and many lesser illusions are the heart of its history.

Download or read book A Catalogue of the Everett D Graff Collection of Western Americana written by Newberry Library and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1968-11 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Everett D. Graff Collection of Western Americana consists of some 10,000 books, manuscripts, maps, pamphlets, broadsides, broadsheets, and photographs, of which about half are described in the present catalogue. The Graff Collection displays the remarkable breadth of interest, knowledge, and taste of a great bibliophile and student of Western American history. From this rich collection, now in The Newberry Library, Chicago, its former Curator, Colton Storm, has compiled a discriminating and representative Catalogue of the rarer and more unusual materials. Collectors, bibliographers, librarians, historians, and book dealers specializing in Americana will find the Graff Catalogue an interesting and essential tool. Detailed collations and binding descriptions are cited, and many of the more important works have been annotated by Mr. Graff and Mr. Storm. An extensive index of persons and subjects makes the book useful to the scholar as well as to the collector and dealer. The book is not a bibliography but rather a guide to rare or unique source materials now enriching The Newberry Library's outstanding holdings in American history.
