William Caruthers
(4,688 Sterne; 24 Bewertungen)
William Caruthers was a retired newspaperman who spent 25 years listening to stories told by the inhabitants of Death Valley. This 1951 book collects those stories; the printed version has many interesting pictures. ''Of the actors who made the history of the period, few remain. It was the writer’s good fortune that many of these men were his friends. It is the romance, the comedy, the often stark tragedy these men left along the trail which you will find in the pages that follow.'' (Preface and David Wales)

I found this narrative incredibly entertaining. So many characters with such interesting backstory. If you like anything about the West the turn of the century you'll really enjoy this.

Many interesting tales of Indians, miners, travelers and more who spent time in Death Valley in the early 1900s. I loved the reader's voice, and it is well read.
