Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Sketches of Death Valley and Other Borax Deserts of the Pacific Coast Early in the year 1891, while a series of sketches made during a trip to the Cryolite mine in Greenland was running through the Sun, an associate on the staff of that paper, Mr. S. T. Mather, came to me and said: "Let me tell you where to go to get another lot of sketches; go out among the borax deserts of the Pacific Coast." Before the matter could be properly considered I was sent by the chief to Central America, and by the time I had returned home the deserts had been entirely forgotten. Afterward, while making some purchases in a grocery store, I noticed that the label on a package of borax was more or less (chiefly less) beautified by a picture of two wagons drawn by a string of mules that stretched out apparently for half a mile over a boundless plain. It is a poor soul that does not feel interested in even one mule with its driver, but to see a half-mile string of desert mules (possibly a new variety) with their driver, that would be a spectacle full of such stirring and hilarious possibilities. But to continue: Above and below the picture appeared the legend "Borax from the Deserts." That reminded me of what my friend had said, and I began to investigate the matter of a journey to the Pacific Coast deserts.

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.
