68-page paperback about a Jayhawker (abolitionist trader) by L. Burr Belden. This book traces the largest of several parties who became mired in Death Valley during December 1849. Two members of this party kept diaries of their trip which have been preserved. They were consulted by the author along with a scrapbook and numerous letters kept by the Huntington Library in San Marino, California. This work also includes a list of Jayhawkers.
