""Death Valley in '49"" is a historical account of the California Gold Rush and the journey of a group of pioneers who traveled to the region in 1849. The book was written by William Lewis Manly, who was a member of the group and one of the few survivors of the perilous journey. The book provides a detailed description of the harsh conditions faced by the pioneers, including the extreme heat, lack of water and food, and the constant threat of attack by Native Americans. It also includes accounts of the group's encounters with other pioneers, their attempts to find gold, and their eventual rescue. The book is considered an important historical document and provides valuable insight into the challenges faced by early settlers in California.1894. Illustrated by Alson Clark. The autobiography of a pioneer, detailing his life from a humble home in the Green Mountains to the gold mines of California and particularly reciting the sufferings of the bank of men, women and children who gave Death Valley its name. Manly's narrative stands out among the many written of the days of �������49 for several reasons. In the first place, Manly's book is one of the most vivid because it tells the most poignant experience of any of the adventures. It is one of the enduring tales of human heroism. Next to the tale itself comes the heroic figure of the man who tells the tale-the story of the tragedy of which he was, himself, a part. Among his companions, men and women of the Death Valley party, Manly is the outstanding figure, not that he strives to so distinguish himself, but because the facts make him so.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
