SynopsisA vast land of mineral wealth, eerie beauty, and countless contrasts, the Mojave Desert joined the Union of the United States on September 5, 1850, and became part of the new San Bernadino County three years later. A massive, parched region, its varied terrain rolls eastward from the Antelope Valley to the Colorado River. The nation s highest temperature on record occurred in this region; on the other extreme, the freezing winters here shroud the land in ice and snow. This thirsty expanse climbs to over 4,000 feet, with a great number of different wildlife forms making their homes among the hills. Featuring over 200 evocative and illustrative images, The Mojave Desert is an entertaining and educational source of information about the area and its unique history.", A vast land of mineral wealth, eerie beauty, and countless contrasts, the Mojave Desert joined the Union of the United States on September 5, 1850, and became part of the new San Bernadino County three years later.

Historical view of the Mojave region
This book is a fun stroll done memory lane for me. For younger folks it will be interesting to see how the Mojave area has grown and contributed to the nation. There are pictures on most if not all pages which are very interesting to study. One con: if you are looking for information on the town of Mojave, this is not the book for you. I still highly recommend this book for its historical value and content. Enjoy!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
