“It’s an engaging story, and the author offers an intimate glimpse at the travails and tragedies of the pioneers as they moved west in the first half of the nineteenth century. Andre Stojka offers an engaging reading, with a kind of mild, raspy, rural sound that seems entirely appropriate for a man like William Manly.”

Death in the desert under a relentless sun
This is an eyewitness account of wagon train pioneer families who faced the horrifying heat of what is now known as Death Valley, California, and survived the ordeal through an act of incredible heroism.
It is also a first person account of working the California gold fields, crossing through the Panama jungle, and witnessing the horror of slavery in America. It is a unique document of history and adventure.
William Lewis Manly lived though these events and wrote a personal account in 1884 so that they would not be forgotten.
