First line
The valley we call Death isn't really that different from much of the rest of the desert west.
From the rear cover
"A definitive piece of Western history . . . thorough, judicious and consistently entertaining."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Death Valley is a wilderness of extremes--the lowest, the driest, the hottest--and not surprisingly, its human history representes one more extreme, a bumptious, sleazy, hilarious Wild West Show of horse raiders, swindlers, drunks, explorers, prospectors, madmen and other such types as blast about from one outermost fringe to another."--Mark Muro, The Boston Globe
