An Evocative Exploration of Death Valley: Pictorial and Descriptive Insight into the Borax Deserts of the West Coast Spears offers readers a vividly descriptive journey through Death Valley Spears, John R. Illustrated Sketches of Death Valley and Other Borax Deserts of the Pacific Coast : 226 pp. Features photographs and a map detailing the Borax zones along the Pacific Coast. Dimensions: 19x12.7 cm (7½x5"). Chicago, 1892. Variant issue, with yellow cover pasted over later boards and library spine. Internally with old reinforcement to inner hinge. A VERY RARE Book. Spears presents a detailed depiction of Death Valley as it was in the year 1891, providing a narrative that predates Manly's account by a couple of years. "Illustrated Sketches" is distinguished as much by its pioneering photographs as by the narrative it conveys. These images might be among the earliest-if not the very first-published photographs of the Death Valley area, lending them significant historical value. Edwards highlights their utmost significance, while Paher recognizes the book as not only one of the paramount Death Valley chronicles but also a key piece of Nevada literature. Spears stands out as the inaugural professional writer-photographer to document the happenings in the desert expanses. - Referenced in Paher 1844; Cowan p. 604; Edwards, "Enduring Desert" p. 227; Graff 3926; Howes S821; listed in Zamorano Select 103.

[It] is noted for its early photographs in almost the same degree as for its textual content. It is conceivable that these may be the first pictures ever published - perhaps ever taken - of the Death Valley region. Maximum importance attaches to them - Edwards, ENDURING DESERT, p.227."

Prima edizione
First edition. First edition.12mo. Full brown leather, raised bands, titles stamped in gilt on a leather spine label. light green front and rear endpapers, 226 pp. plus 6 pages of advertisements, frontispiece, illustrated, plates, map. Edwards' The Enduring Desert offers high praise for this title as "it is noted for its early photographs in almost the same degree as for its textual content. It is conceivable that these may be the first pictures ever published -- perhaps ever taken -- of the Death Valley region. Maximum importance attaches to them." We learn much about borax, its mining and the chemicals involved to perform the borax test. Also there is a wonderful description of the early freight wagons used in the 20-mule team borax outfits -- those ten sturdy old wagons that were in constant use without a single breakdown during the five years the Works were in operation. Significantly, even after standing exposed to the rigors of Death Valley weather for fifty years, two of these ancient wagons were sufficiently preserved to participate in the San Francisco Bay Bridge Celebration. Edwards goes on further to say: "Many books and articles written of the Mojave Desert and its glamorous Valley of Death -- and particularly among those written prior to 1930 -- are of an ephemeral nature, arousing only a passing interest in the country they attempt to describe. Spears' ILLUSTRATED SKETCHES, on the other hand, is a book equally as distinguished as it is distinctive; and its substance guarantees as perpetual the sustained interest that pulsates throughout every chapter. It is as adequate and as dependable a commentary on Death Valley and the Mojave Desert today as it was in that day -- years ago -- when Spears wrote it. It is Death Valley's number two book; and it will probably continue to remain so. Certainly no desert collection even merits the name without a copy of the Spears." Front hinge starting else a very good, clean copy attractively presented.
