Death Valley in '49 Important chapter of California pioneer history. The autobiography of a pioneer, detailing his life from a humble home in the Green ... children who gave "Death Valley" its name by William Lewis Manly

4.0

The first person account of a party of 49ers who made the mistake of trying to get to the goldfields by way of death valley. A disturbing story as many animals suffered and died in the process but a primary source of the Gold Rush days.
