3 Generally, the tribe and places named after the tribe in Arizona are spelled "Mohave," the fort in Arizona, the desert, and other places in California are spelled "Mojave." See Dennis Casebier, The Mojave Road, Tales of the Mojave Road #5 (Norco, CA: Tales of the Mojave Road Publishing Co, 1975), 182n1.
4 This incident was likely precipitated by violence toward the Mojave by an earlier trapping party, under the command of Ewing Young. Later trappers, such as Peter Skene Ogden, also massacred Mohaves without warning, contributing to the tension. Casebier, Mojave Road, 24-28.

7 The emigrant party got no further west than the banks of the Colorado; after being attacked by the Mohave, the emigrants staged a disastrous retreat back to Albuquerque, New Mexico. See Charles W.

29 Ver Planck dates the discoveries to 1865, Casebier suggests that the area began to prosper in 1869. Both authors may be right, though Casebier's carefully worded explanation enables a more accurate chronological contextualization of the development of the Ivanpah area. Ron and Peggy Miller split the difference and wrote that the discoveries occurred in 1867.

37 Salable minerals are also known as non-metallic minerals, and are used in a wide variety of applications, such as building materials, decorative landscaping, and concrete aggregate, among others. Salable minerals should be contrasted with metallic ores, which are milled to produce valuable metals. The two categories are governed by different laws.
38 Ver Planck, 8. See also the section about Molycorp in chapter eight.
39 Certain solutions of cyanide will draw gold from its host rock. The ore (rock containing gold) is ground very finely and piled in layers to form a heap, which ordinarily sits atop a thin layer of plastic sheeting. A dilute cyanide solution is sprayed over the heap, and the runoff, rich with gold, is collected and refined. Cyanide heap leaching technology makes possible the recovery of microscopic amounts of gold from tons of waste rock. See the discussion of the Morning Star Mine in chapter 8 for more information.
40 NPS Historian Gordon Chappell provided excellent clarification of this issue: "Actually, the U.P.Ry.E.D. had nothing to do with the Union Pacific Railroad, then being built from Omaha to Promontory Summit. The U.P.Ry.E.D. had been so-named by promoters deliberately to confuse investors into thinking it was somehow connected with the well-publicized Union Pacific Railroad, when in fact there was no connection at all except a misleading name. The U.P.Ry.E.D. did actually build track across Kansas and Colorado to Denver, but never continued on to New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California. ... Before it reached Denver, it had changed its name to the Kansas Pacific Railroad." Gordon Chappell memorandum to David Moore, July 31, 2002, 1, copy in possession of author.

44 It should be noted that the Tonopah & Tidewater Railroad connected with the Bullfrog Goldfield Railroad just south of Beatty, Nevada, and the latter line itself connected with the Tonopah & Goldfield Railroad in Goldfield, Nevada. Thus it was possible for T&T traffic to reach Tonopah, though not over T&T rails. Chappell memo to Moore, July 31, 2002, 2.

The shutoff times are frightening: Given that the pipelines move 2,940,000 gallons of petroleum a day, this means that 6,125 gallons would, in theory, be pumped out of the line before the gate valves were closed, even if a break in the line were discovered immediately. Casebier reports that the line has only been broken twice, both by bulldozers.

110 In the ANILCA parks, Alaska natives are allowed to hunt in the national parks themselves as well as in the national preserves. The preservation of "customary and traditional" subsistence hunting was designed to minimize the disruption that designation of the areas as national parks would have on local lifestyles, and was an unstated acknowledgment of the role of human predation in the sustainable functioning of the Alaskan ecosystem. The situation in the eastern Mojave was different, as human predation had not been a longstanding, sustainable part of the ecosystem since the arrival of the American settlement in the 1860s, and hunting was of chief importance to a small group of elite trophy hunters who wished to harvest bighorn sheep. For a good overview of the role of hunting in the Alaska parks, see Darryl R. Johnson, "National Parks and Rural Development in Alaska," in Gary E. Machlis and Donald R. Field, eds., National Parks and Rural Development: Practice and Policy in the United States (Washington, DC: Island Press, 2000), 132-163; Wheat, 273-278.
