Description

Berkeley: The Friends of The Bancroft Library, 1967 Book. Fine. Hardcover. First edition. Edited by George Koenig. Foreword by J.S. Holliday. 67pp. Portrait, facsimile; illustrations of Death Valley from photographs by Ansel Adams. Folding route map by Robert Becker. A fine copy. Designed and printed by Lawton and Alfred Kennedy. Nusbaumer, unlike most gold-seekers, traveled an unknown trail to California and, along with his fellow travelers, found himself lost. He was with Manly and the group that attempted the "short-cut" through the desert that, because of their experience, became known as Death Valley. This is the first time that Nusbaumer's firsthand, on-the-spot account has been published. It is the only extant journal carried out of Death Valley on the epic trek. His diary provides an important complement to Manly's better-known reminiscence, Death Valley in '49. "Nusbaumer's diary provides the only firsthand account of the party." (Mintz). [Kurutz: 470; Mintz: 349]..
