This report is a collection and evaluation of historical research pertaining to events that have occurred in or near the lands added to Death Valley National Monument by the California Desert Protection Act of 1994. Most of the report focuses on historic events relating to exploration, mining and ranching. However, the ranching section also briefly addresses the impacts of grazing by cattle, sheep, burros, and wild horses on these land additions (pp. 125-131). The epilogue describes the significant resources of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)-designated "areas of critical environmental concern" (ACEC) which were added to the new Death Valley National Park, and explains how the BLM was managing these resources.
