"Reconnaissance of the Borax Deposits of Death Valley and Mohave Desert" is a detailed geological survey, originally published in 1902, focusing on the borax deposits located within Death Valley and the Mojave Desert. Authored by Marius Robinson Campbell, this work provides an insightful examination of the region's mineral resources during a period of significant industrial expansion in the United States.
The study meticulously documents the geological formations, mineral compositions, and geographical distribution of borax, an essential component in various industrial applications. This historical record offers valuable perspectives on early 20th-century geological exploration and economic geology. It serves as a crucial reference for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the natural resources and geological history of the American West. This edition ensures that Campbell's pioneering observations remain accessible to contemporary audiences.
