Mountains, Grass and Water
Explore the Trails through Ruby Valley
by Larry Hyslop and Charles Greenhaw
This book follows two historically important trails, the Hastings Cutoff and the Overland Trail, through the lush Ruby Valley. Beginning at the valley’s eastern approach, historian Charles Greenhaw describes the vivid history of this valley shadowed by 11,000-foot peaks of the Ruby Mountains. It is a valley once visited by such western notables as John Fremont, Kit Carson, Lansford Hastings, George Donner, and Samuel Clements. Wagons followed the Hastings Cutoff the length of the valley. The Pony Express and Overland Stage crossed the southern end of the valley. Diary excerpts bring alive the appreciation of early travelers for the valley’s ample supplies of grass and water.Maps and route descriptions help historical time travelers visit sites throughout the valley.
