Postcard showing Scotty's Castle and Death Valley Scotty, Death Valley, California, circa mid 1900s

Date

1920 to 1959

Archival Collection

Description

An image composed of Scotty's Castle, Death Valley Scotty, and a stone covered in petroglyphs. Located within the far northern region of Death Valley in Grapevine Canyon, the Death Valley Ranch, more commonly known as Scotty's Castle, is a prime example of Spanish-Mediterranean styling during the Roaring 1920s and Depression of the 1930s. Death Valley Scotty was a prospector, performer, and con man who was made famous by his scams involving gold mining near Death Valley. The petroglyph-covered rock beside Death Valley Scotty was designed by Native Americans who inhabited the valley hundreds of years ago. Transcribed across the bottom of the image: "The world's most hospitable host, Death Valley Scotty," Scotty's Castle, Death Valley, Calif."
