Death Valley History Opened to Tourists in New Park Service Plan
Readings recall Death Valley’s perilous emigrant trek of 1849 and the later borax boom. The U S park service announces new facilities on the desert edge near Ryan and Panamint ranges, with Dante’s Peak reachable by a summit route. Guides recount Manley and Rogers’s escape, the Jayhawker tragedy, and local figures like Scotty and Good Samaritan Lou Beck, whose efforts shaped the valley’s lore and safety outlook for visitors.
