	Mines Of Death Valley presents the story of fabulous mining booms, of the men who braved the hot wastes to find gold and silver bonanzas from 1849 to World War II, and informal record that proves the truth is a far better story than the numerous 'fakes' written about this region. Here also are reasoned, researched accounts of the famous 'Lost Gunsight' and 'Lost Breyfogle' together with an explanation of the 'Lost Mormon Diggins'. Since the early 1920s author L. Burr Belden has sought out and interviewed these bonanza finders and has been proud to name them as friends. Now he shares their confidences with you who read this book. Contents include: Introduction - it started in 1849, Salt Spring - the first mine, The Gunsight - and gunsighters, Panamint - senators rescue bandits, Breyfogle - Indian captive, Chloride Cliff - the first road, Wingate Pass - Scotty fools them all, Greenwater - and Diamond Lil, Bullfrog - Shorty liked to talk, Skidoo - he was hanged twice, Ashford Mill - the fort, Jean Le Moigne - and his bank, Hanaupah - the burro wore a bathrobe, Aguereberry - and Harrisburg, Greater View - wooden leg monument, Later Days - talc, lead, Epsom salts, Suggested Reading and an Index.
