History of Death Valley

This page is not included in the sample version.  Click here to see available pages.

The history of Death Valley is just about as rich and colorful as it's geology!  Much of it's recorded history has happened within the last 200 years and most of that was due to the mining rush started in 1849.  Because of the dry, desert conditions and the protected status of the area, Death Valley still has some buildings and mining structures dating back to more than 100 years ago!
