Death Valley in '49 by William Lewis Manly Pdf

William Lewis Manly (1820-1903) and his family left Vermont in 1828, and he grew to manhood in Michigan and Wisconsin. On hearing the news of gold in California, Manly set off on horseback, joining an emigrant party in Missouri. Death Valley in '49 (1894) contains Manly's account of that overland journey. Setting out too late in the year to risk a northern passage thorugh the Sierras, the group takes the southern route to California, unluckily choosing an untried short cut through the mountains. This fateful decision brings the party through Death Valley, and Manly describes their trek through the desert, as well as the experiences of the Illinois "Jayhawkers" and others who took the Death Valley route. Manly's memoirs continue with his trip north to prospecting near the Mariposa mines, a brief trip back east via the Isthmus, and his return to California and another try at prospecting on the North Fork of the Yuba at Downieville in 1851. He provides lively ancedotes of life in mining camps and of his visits to Stockton, Sacramento, and San Francisco.

Death Valley In '49 by Manly William Lewis Pdf

William Lewis Manly wrote a book titled "Death Valley in '49" that details his harrowing expedition to Death Valley in California in 1849. Manly was among a group of prospectors that traveled to California during the gold rush in search of their fortune. However, because of their guide's poor choices, they ended up stranded in Death Valley and had to deal with severe hardships like a lack of food and water. Manly took command of the situation and emerged as the party's leader. He led the group through the mountains to safety, where they were able to get assistance and make their way back to civilization. Their adventures in Death Valley are vividly described in "Death Valley in '49," which emphasizes the terrain's challenges and the group's survival problems. The book is regarded as an essential primary source for comprehending the history of the American West and has grown to be a classic of American Western literature. It has been read and researched extensively, and it has contributed to the development of the American frontier myth.

Country Never Trod by Michael D. Kane Pdf

William Lewis Manly was a forty-niner, explorer, and humanitarian whose story most people have never heard. Born in Vermont, William Lewis Manly was drawn out west by the lure of gold. Previous scholarship claims that the Yankee frontiersman floated only 290 miles down the Green River to the Uinta Basin, but author Michael D. Kane’s research of primary source materials led him to the conclusion that Manly actually traveled 415 miles, all the way to what is now Green River, Utah. This would make Manly the first to explore much of the Green River by boat—twenty years before John Wesley Powell’s famous expedition. Determined to prove his theory and establish Manly’s legacy as a trailblazer, Kane conducted research and then built his own wooden canoes and made the trip, tracing Manly’s footsteps and comparing notes with the earlier traveler. Country Never Trod follows Manly’s little-known expedition down the Green River and his overland trek through some of the most desolate stretches of Utah, interspersed with Kane’s journal entries and photographs documenting his own trip.
