Death Valley and the Creek Called Furnace

Edwin Corle (1906-560 Born in New Jersey and educated at the university of California.Corle harvested some of the legends and some posible true tales of Death Valley. Ansel Adams photographed the arid land, the blazing bright sky, the sand hills and gaunt rocks, the sagebrush and mesquite, the desolate peaks that are Death Valley.His camera caught the form, the shape, the spirit of the desert, where a less discerning eye might see only desolation. Corle's prose and Adm's photography are combined to create a book of great beauty , preserving the spirit and face of barren wilderness.
