The Lost Death Valley Forty-Niner Journal of Louis Nusbaumer

The Nusbaumer journal is the only one yet found to be brought out by the historic Bennetts-Arcanes "Long Camp" party. Written by the flickering light of campfires and in the sparse shade of the mesquite. Nusbaumer's journal was that of a man who traveled with Manly and Rogers and watched them leave on their almost hopeless quest for help. It is the journal of a man who lost one companion as the only known '49er fatality within Death Valley, and three others whose deaths are a part of its lore and legend. --- excerpt from book's Introduction
