Book Synopsis Exploring Death Valley II by : Death Jim
Download or read book Exploring Death Valley II written by Death Jim and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes secret places are in some of the most well-known places in our public lands. These secret places are kept a secret because there are groups or organizations that do not feel you, the reader of this very book, can be trusted with these secrets.In his beginnings, Death Valley Jim was a lot like those who read his books. He combed through piles of research, many of which lead to dead ends and poorly documented sites. He also encountered outright refusal from rangers and other "protectors" when asked about these secret places. This frustration and secrecy is what has motivated him to continue the Secret Places in the Mojave Desert series - to help others like him with a genuine love and interest in the desert and the many treasures that lie within it find them and enjoy them.Our National Parks, Preserves, Monuments, and Forests were created with the intent of preserving the special natural wonders they behold. They were created for all of us to enjoy and explore! But how can these places be truly enjoyed if some of their greatest wonders are being kept a secret from the public? Every American pays taxes - and a portion of those taxes is used to preserve our national lands. And every American should be allowed to enjoy every square foot of them.Exploring Death Valley II picks up where volume I left off, focusing on the "secret" places in northern and eastern Death Valley National Park, and surrounding areas. You will not be able to find many of these locations in any other publication because they have been so fiercely protected by the powers that be. It is expected this book will be met with much criticism and resistance from many, but it is Jim's hope that just as the lovers of the desert and its history always have, they will continue to respect these natural and anthropological wonders.

Download or read book Death Valley written by L. T. Gotchy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The material presented in this book was gathered from numerous sources by L.T. Gotchy, who felt there was a need for anyone who lived and worked in Death Valley to be informed about the area. The work is primarily the result of three people: L.T., Matt Ryan, National Park Service Ranger, and John Aubuchon, Superintendent, Death Valley National Monument. The author spent many laborious hours compiling pertinent, interesting and, in many cases unique, facts and figures regarding Death Valley. Although completed in late 1964 or early 1965, it was never published. Instead, it was literally handed out to a few friends for personal use only. After his death in 2014, the material was discovered among numerous other albums and manuscripts that had been tucked away for decades. Whenever possible, the material is presented in its original format; however, photographs have been added. Keep in mind that the information presented is over 50 years old. Exploration of some of the sites, such as old mining towns, camps, and natural points of interest, may appear somewhat different today, but they are certainly worth the time to visit or, at the very least, learn about in the fascinating pages of this unique work.

Book Synopsis Twenty Mule Team of Death Valley by : Steve Greene
Download or read book Twenty Mule Team of Death Valley written by Steve Greene and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty mule team is an iconic legend of the Death Valley territory and Mojave Desert. Its operation was short-lived, but during that time, this team of animals, humans, and wagons became forever etched into the romantic psyche of all who learned about it. Common citizens who had no association with the desert used products that had their beginnings in the mystique of Death Valley and the team. Even today, most every supermarket in the United States carries products with the well known twenty mule team silhouette on them. These borax related cleaning products are likely found worldwide. Rarely has such an obscure operation gained such fame as the impressive twenty mule team.This book tells the story behind the legend, revealing also what it was like to have worked as a laborer to extract the borax for transport to market. It is a time forever lost to the shroud of history, but the spirit lives on, and is celebrated regularly by enthusiasts who relive the glory of those days at planned desert events. Next time you see a desert dust devil approaching, imagine the colossal wagons and team lumbering along.Borax is a compound of boron, also known as sodium borate, and it brought in more money for a few entrepreneurs than all the other mining activities (gold, silver, lead, copper, etc.) combined - this prized salt is what really put the Death Valley territory on the map of common public awareness. Borax was so valuable, it was also known as white gold. It is part of what is left on the valley floor after many years of mineral evaporation in the scorching summer heat, and the miners who sought precious metals such as gold and silver overlooked its value. Humble but useful, borax is what led to the operation of Death Valley's famous twenty mule team, and was what thousands of Americans used during the mid-twentieth century to wash their hands and clothing.These giant wagons and rugged men responsible for hauling borax across the arid and merciless desert and through Wingate Wash in the 1880s are now legend, and have become an integral part of Old West Americana. Visitors to Furnace Creek can still view these wagons today.Choosing to do his own hauling from the Harmony Borax Works when borax prices dropped, William Coleman initiated this new method to get his borax to Mojave. Each team was comprised of 18 mules and 2 draft horses, the horse's heavier weight being used at the lead wagon for making turns easier. The two wooden borax wagons each carried over 10 tons of the powder in a volume of 4 by 6 by 16 feet. The rear wheels were 7 feet high, and the front were 5 feet. They had iron tires 8 inches wide and 1 inch thick. The third wagon was a metal cylinder carrying 1,050 gallons of precious water for crew and animals to survive the arduous 20 day round-trip desert journey (there are some accounts that state the water capacity of this cylinder was 500 gallons). The team moved along at an average speed of two miles per hour. The fully loaded rig weighed in excess of 30 tons. One twenty mule team left the Harmony Borax Works every 4 days, but the runs from this location ceased during the scorching summer months, with production continuing at the cooler Amargosa Borax Works until the fall of each year. It was a lot of back-breaking work that did not last long, but history shall never forget what happened here.Also included in this book is the story of Death Valley, as written by John Randolph Spears. In 1892, a book called "Illustrated Sketches of Death Valley and Other Borax Deserts of the Pacific Coast" was published by Rand, McNally & Company, written by John Randolph Spears, and destined to become a long-time authority on the Death Valley territory. "The Story of Death Valley" is the first chapter of that book. John was among the first to write of this territory, thus the accounts of his visit were seen as noteworthy, although his stories are laced with some unsubstantiated tales amidst the factual backdrop and history.
