He stayed there to devote his life to saving others. Death Valley of the days before good roads and tourist facilities was well named. Hundreds of American adventurers never returned from it. A barren waste with trails that led nowhere, and alive only with crawl ing lizards and darting poisonous snakes, Death Valley was a treach erous trap baited to lure adventur ers with promises of gold. Beck became known as the “Good Samaritan of Death Valley,” piling up rocks and putting signs on them directing prospectors to water holes. He went out searching for those who were known to be lost and guided them to safety. For 13 years, aided only by Rufus, his Newfoundland dog, Beck braved the hardships of the Colorado and Mojave deserts, as well as Death Valley, and saved between 300 and 400 lives. In 1917, although warned not to by his dog, Beck drank from an infected spring and never re covered from the resulting illness. Although comparatively unknown today, Lou Westcott Beck is proba bly one of the most self-sacrificing of all the great American adven turers. Western Newspaper Union.
