Summary: Perhaps my favorite book of all time. No kidding.
Comment: What more could one want in a history book? Clean clear writing, plenty of interesting characters, loads of legends, and a starkly beautiful setting to back it all up. Lingenfelter has done a marvelous job. I've poured over his book twice and could easily read it yet again without feeling bored. This book gives a wonderfully complete history of the Death Valley area. Read it first or take it along if you plan to visit. It will increase your appreciation of Death Valley immensely, and you'll be enthralled by the history as its told here.

Summary: A nearly complete history and GREAT bibliography!
Comment: This book contains an excelent, highly detailed account of
the history of Death Valley, CA from the first appearances
of man up to it's designation as a National Monument in 1933
by President Herbert Hoover. It is very well researched as
evidenced by the bibliography at the end of the book. Mr.
Lingenfelter allows the reader to experience the trials and
tribulations of the many soles who entered into "The Valley
of Death" to discover, the hard way, the many illusions promoted by the published accounts of those who ventured before
them. A must read for anyone wishing to visit the National
Park for a drive or hike through a very mysterious and beautiful land.
