Loafing Along Death Valley Trails

A Personal Narrative of People and Places

About this book

In 1926, on the advice of his doctor, former newspaperman William Caruthers, whose writings appeared in most Western magazines during a career spanning more than 25 years, retired to an orange grove near Ontario, California. Once there, he would go on to spend much of his time during the next 25 years in the Death Valley region, witnessing the transition of Death Valley from a prospector's hunting ground to a mecca for winter tourists.This book, which was first published in 1951, is William Caruthers' personal narrative of the old days in Death Valley—"of people and places in Panamint Valley, the Amargosa Desert and the big sink at the bottom of America."A wonderful read.
