Buy The Silence and The Sun, 3rd Edition (2025), from the author - Trails End Publishing.
An historical account of the people, places, and events near old Route 66, and railroad communities in the Eastern Mojave Desert, California.
The Silence and the Sun, liberally illustrated with photographs, offers a selection of historical accounts on the growth and eventual decline of some of these desert sites and stories of the people who lived there. Not only will the book help inspire your desert adventures and explore places you never knew existed, it will also broaden your appreciation of this beautiful country. The desert scenery in this area, bordered on the north by old Route 66, displays a beauty all its own, and the area is steeped in history centered on the railroad and mining. There are few roads in this region - some are prospector trails and others are tracks to abandoned mines, but for those who are interested in exploring and learning about some of the lesser-known areas, the wealth of information contained in The Silence and the Sun is second to none.
