Beyond This Place There Be Dragons

The precise routes of those traveling through Death Valley in southern Nevada during the Gold Rush years has long been a puzzle. Published here is the author's record of many years of route tracing by foot, jeep and camera coordinated with landmarks and dates mentioned in the diaries and journals of the 1849-50 participants. The threads of records have been woven to a fabric of fine sequence. Profusely illustrated with historical photographs and includes fold-out maps.
