Death Valley, a region once feared and condemned as the most dreadful place on Earth, is the home of a national park visited by more than 1.4 million people per year. The region features profound contradictions, intriguing legends, threatening extremes, and a famous climate that has often matched its ominous name. Some parts of Death Valley are vast, scorched, salt flats and sand dunes, while elsewhere are lush waterfalls, snow-capped mountains, and beautiful meadows. Death Valley has been home to Native Americans for centuries, as well as rainbow chasers seeking gold, criminals seeking refuge from the law, mining companies seeking treasures, and countless others lured by the freedom that the valley's solitude and silence evoke. All have left their mark with legends, products, famous vistas, and ghost towns that now are silent reminders of earlier dreams. All these things, people, places, and legends are discussed here in the first encyclopedic treatment of Death Valley.
