Valley of Death Tale Spreads from Utah to California
The Beaver Enterprise recounts a perilous 1850s journey north of the old Mormon road to California. It details a doomed wagon train entering Death Valley, where heat and drought killed most, leaving only two survivors after days of wandering. It notes eighty seven families and hundreds of animals perished, with wrecked wagons and skeletal remains enduring in the desert.
