tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1165 - Burned Wagons Point. It was here that a Jayhawker group of Forty-Niners, gold seekers from the middle west, entered Death Valley in 1849, seeking a short route to the gold mines of central California, burned their wagons, dried the meat of some oxen and with the surviving animals struggled westward on foot.
