Near this spot the Bennett-Arcane contingent of the Death Valley 49'ers, emmigrants
breaking away from the Mojave-San-Joaquin (Mojave Sand Walking) wagon party, became
stranded seeking a shortcut to the gold fields of California. They remained here for
well over a month nearly perishing from starvation. Two young companions,
William Lewis Manly
and John Rogers, undertook an heroic journey on foot to San Fernando, returning with
supplies, and then led the party to the safety of San Francisquito Ranch near Newhall.
