About this ebook

For the arm-chair traveler motivated by curiosity and a desire for entertainment and information, and for the motorized tourist seeking the thrills of unique and spectacular natural beauty in an unspoiled though convenient section of America—this is a volume of vast potential enjoyment and profit.

Although it covers a period of ninety-one years—all within the memory of one man who testifies again and again within its pages—it will be read with the gripping narrative interest of a first-rate novel. And it will be preserved as the most entertaining reference work on the subject yet compiled.

It is a mine of information, amusement, history, geography, geology, tears and laughter, richer than the fabulous mine of Death Valley Scotty. For example, it even tells you where the original Scotty mine was located, and indicates what the sources of Walter Scott’s income have been ever since he quit the Buffalo Bill Show in New York forty years ago.

Scored of vivid and virile characters walk through these pages from the heroic immigrants, the first whites to see Death Valley, lost within its terrors in 1849, to the Master of Science who now explains it to thousands of visitors attracted every years by its good roads, its comforts and luxuries in a setting inconceivably primitive. Gold, silver, copper, lead, borax, and all the wild and mild life to which they gave inspiration are here.

This is American history, enlivened by anecdote, inspiring and completely satisfying.

Author

C. B. Glasscock

Carl Burgess Glasscock (1884-1942) was an American author, journalist and chronicler of the history of the American West. He was born on May 4, 1884, in Fresno, California, the third child of Aldea Amazon and Sarah Glasscock. His father was a native of Missouri and had practiced medicine there and later in California. Glasscock began working for the Fresno Democrat while still attending the University of California at Berkeley. With the help of C.E. Kunze, he published a small newspaper in the community of Greenwater, California, not far from Death Valley. In 1907 Glasscock and Kunze printed a special edition of their paper twelve hours after a fire destroyed their office. Glasscock went on to become an editorial writer for the Chicago Tribune and production manager for Liberty Magazine. In addition to his numerous books about the history of the West, he was also a frequent contributor of stories and articles to national periodicals. Glasscock died at his home in Laguna Beach, California, on November 14, 1942, aged 58.
