Who Killed Chester Pray?: A Death Valley Mystery

$10.46 – TEXTBOOK – Used

Written in the newly recognized nonfiction genre of historical reconstruction, Who Killed Chester Pray? transports the reader to a last, grand hurrah of the American West. Seeking his fortune in the early 1900s, young prospector-assayer Chester Pray filched a Nevada sheriff’s horses, stole gold belonging to a U.S. Senator, and ultimately discovered one of the richest lodes ever in Death Valley. Then, Pray was shot dead in the night.By who? Why? As many as seven individuals had ample cause to kill Chester Pray. His new partners? Gunslinger “Diamondfield Jack”? Even pretty Clara, his fiancée? The psychologically compelling answer is not what you would expect.”Who Killed Chester Pray? provides new and revealing information about one of Death Valley’s most provocative unsolved mysteries. Author Nicholas Clapp’s intensive research and use of a flowing narrative result in a wonderfully readable book that not only probes the dark side of human nature, but presents an exciting picture of the American mining West of the early 20th century.”–Linda Greene, coauthor, A History of Mining in Death Valley National Monument

The Lost Death Valley Forty-Niner Journal of Louis Nusbaumer

$4.95 – TRADE – Used

Qualified as one of the more important and reliable presentations of Death Valley’s fascinating history. The author is a capable writer and the material he has assembled is carefully researched and its substanc eis factually reported. Moreover, this source material is vividly and entertainingly presented. By a most conservative appraisal, Death Valley in 1849 ranks as one of this desert’s outstanding books. An intensely interesting and informative unraveling of some of the mysteries of the legendary Death Valley 49ers. Not content with parroting previous theories of Jayhawker, et al, trail retracings, Southworth’s finding are the result of years of on the scene searching. Notable is his iconoclastic shattering of the Towne Pass myth as the escape route from the 1849ers ill-named ‘valley of the death’. An excellent addition to the library of historian or armchair reader delving into the fascinating story of the gold rush emigrants who blundered into Death Valley on their fateful ‘short cut’ to California’s Mother Lode.
