Hardcover book published in 1947 by the Randsburg Times, the newspaper of the historic mining camp. The newspaper covered many of the mining locales of the area including Panamint and Ballarat. Written by Leonard F. Murnane. Murnane took over the Trona Argonaut, the newspaper at Trona by Searles Lake. According to the introduction, he then made the acquaintance of "Panamint Pete", who was considered "something of a character even in Trona". Each page has a tongue and cheek story of humorous content regarding Pete's crazy exploits. It seems like Pete is a mythical figure, but it's all in good fun and it's a fun read. Very unusual Death Valley area collectible. Tightly bound copy with some water staining on the front and back cover, but the inside is good.
