1894. Illustrated by Alson Clark. The autobiography of a pioneer,
detailing his life from a humble home in the Green Mountains to the
gold mines of California and particularly reciting the sufferings
of the bank of men, women and children who gave Death Valley its
name. Manly's narrative stands out among the many written of the
days of '49 for several reasons. In the first place, Manly's book
is one of the most vivid because it tells the most poignant
experience of any of the adventures. It is one of the enduring
tales of human heroism. Next to the tale itself comes the heroic
figure of the man who tells the tale-the story of the tragedy of
which he was, himself, a part. Among his companions, men and women
of the Death Valley party, Manly is the outstanding figure, not
that he strives to so distinguish himself, but because the facts
make him so.
