Foreword by John Steven McGroarty Includes 16 black and white illustrations in the text. Also contains 17 chapters. William Lewis Manly (April 6, 1820 - February 5, 1903) was an American pioneer of the mid-19th century. He was first a fur hunter, a guide of westward bound caravans, a seeker of gold, and then a farmer and writer in his later years. He wrote an autobiography, first published with the title From Vermont to California, then a second edition with the title Death Valley in '49, that tells of the pioneer experience in the Far West, in particular the 1848 California Gold Rush. Late in life, his friends finally convinced him to recount his memories. He recreated events from memory and in 1886, Manly published "From Vermont to California" in Santa Clara Valley, a monthly agricultural review. In the compilation of his memories, Manly contacted all the relevant persons possible, then with the aid of a publishing assistant wrote the greater part of his autobiography; Death Valley in '49 was published as a book in 1894 at San Jose from Pacific Tree and Vine Company. The title change was ostensibly to encourage sales, although Death Valley is not spoken of until the tenth chapter. Manly recounts in the book how, as the Bennett and Arcane families began their climb out of the valley through the Panamint mountains south of Telescope Peak, someone in the group, probably Sarah Ann Bennett (née Dilley), or Mrs. J.B. Arcane, turned to take a last look eastward and said "Goodbye, Death Valley!" Alson Skinner Clark (March 25, 1876 - March 23, 1949) was an American Impressionist painter best remembered for his landscapes. He was also a photographer, pleinaire painter, art educator and muralist. He spent much of his early career working in Paris, France and served in the United States Army as an aerial photographer during World War I. In the 1920s, he taught fine art at Occidental College, and by 1919 he was director of the Stickney Memorial Art School in Pasadena. John Steven McGroarty (August 20, 1862 - August 7, 1944) was a poet, Los Angeles Times columnist, and author who also served two terms as a Democratic Congressman from California. McGroarty authored numerous books and dramas, one of his best-known works being The Mission Play (1911), a three-hour pageant describing the California Missions from their founding in 1769 through secularization in 1834, ending with their "final ruin" in 1847. The play opened on April 29, 1912. McGroarty also penned California: Its History and Romance in 1911 and Mission Memories in 1929. In his book the California Plutarch, 1935, he detailed the lives and histories of Northern and Southern California's early pioneers such as the Crocker, Carrillo, Van Nuys, Stanford, Avila, Estrada, Sepulveda, Baldwin and Mulholland families. Besides, he was also the editor of the West Coast Magazine for a long time. McGroarty was designated poet laureate of California by the State legislature in 1933. According to his narrative, "Many accounts have been given to the world as to the origin of the name and by whom it was thus designated but ours were the first visible footsteps, and we the party which named it the saddest and most dreadful name that came to us first from its memories." The book starts out chronicling the author's early life, including his childhood on a farm on the East Coast, and his subsequent travels to the frontier colonies of Michigan and Wisconsin. He earned a living doing odd jobs, hunting and trapping, and made his way further west until news of the Gold Rush in California reached him and he decided to head out there. He ended up leading a party of emigrant families across the desert to California, and the main part of the narrative tells the long and harrowing tale of that journey. Every step of the way was miserable, and the members of the party often cursed themselves for setting out in the first place. Reprint Edition, Presumed First printing thus.

Reprint. Reprint. Illustrated by Alson Clark. [xiv], [524] pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Ffep inscribed: "To Ed Borein / Who is leaving a true picture of the West for future posterity by his skill in producing etchings of actual happenings. / Dwight Murphy." Murphy was a noted rancher and breeder of palomino horses. He owned 7,000 acres of Snata Barbara's Rancho San Marcos. John Edward Borein (1872-1945), son of a California deputy sheriff, was sketching Western subjects at the age of five. Encouraged by his family to become an artist, he matriculated at a San Francisco art school, but left after a month to work as a cowboy. In this pursuit he became highly proficient, although, encouraged by his awed fellow cowhands, he continued to draw and sketch in his spare time and, in 1896, began to see his work in print. He eventually developed an enviable competence as a watercolorist, but gave up painting in oils when he compared his work--unfavorably--with that of his friend Charles M. Russell. In 1906 Borein moved to New York to work as an illustrator, and studied etching--which would become a speciality--at the Art Students' League. It was this which set him apart from his peers in Western art, and nearly 400 of his etchings are recorded. Seeped in the history and allurements of the West, he returned to California permanently in 1919, and it is to his native state that much of his work relates. By the 1930s his watercolors, produced with sparkling, vivid colors and conveying a flavor of authenticity without pretension, were enormously popular; they number over 1,000 examples. He is known as an artist "who got the details right" and his readily identifiable personal style sets him apart from others who depict the landscapes, the inhabitants, the history, and the sun-drenched aridity of the American West.

William Lewis Manly's Death Valley in '49 is a "classic account, by a survivor, of dire sufferings endured by an emigrant party on a short-cut from Salt Lake to California through the Valley called ever after by this fearful name" (Howes M-255). Manly was a guide for the Death Valley '49ers, a group of Gold Rush pioneers attempting to make the overland trip from Utah to California. Ater the party got lost in the area that would later become known as Death Valley, Manly and John Haney Rogers embarked on a perilous three-hundred-mile journey on foot to secure relief and supplies for their party, who waited in Death Valley for their return for twenty-six days. Manly and Rogers eventually rescued the party and led them to safety in California. The book is now considered a crucial entry in the bibliography of California history and a landmark work on the Death Valley region: "No other book that has ever been written about Death Valley can even remotely approach the Manly in historic importance. It is unlikely that one ever will" (Graff 2670). Near Fine.
