Death Valley Scotty Told Me is a non-fiction book written by Eleanor Jordan Houston. The book is a memoir of Houston's time spent with Death Valley Scotty, a famous con artist and showman. Houston met Scotty in the 1930s and became fascinated with him and his stories. The book is a collection of anecdotes and tales that Houston heard from Scotty during their time together. Houston describes Scotty's life, including his early years as a cowboy, his involvement in the gold rush, and his fraudulent schemes. The book also includes stories about Scotty's friends, including Albert Johnson, who built Scotty's famous castle in Death Valley. Through her writing, Houston captures the spirit of the American West and the larger-than-life characters who inhabited it. Death Valley Scotty Told Me is a compelling and entertaining read for anyone interested in the history of the American West, con artists, or larger-than-life characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
