Death Valley 20 Mule Team
Death Valley was so remote that the mineral borax had to be hauled out by 20 Mule Team. The transportation method wasn't unique or unusual. It had been used around the west since the 1870s. And now in 1884 20 Mule Teams would be used to haul borax from Death Valley to the railroad at Mojave 165 miles away. Mules were preferred for desert hauling as they are pound for pound stronger than horses, have more stamina, can go longer without water and quite frankly, are about 30% smarter than their equine cousins. The story of Death Valley's 20 Mule Team is one of legend and lore. They never would have been very famous if it hadn't been the soap that later carried their name. Long after the mules had stopped hauling in Death Valley from the Harmony Borax Works, Pacific Coast Borax named their soap 20 Mule Team Borax. The giant wagons became legendary and tales of heroic muleskinners and tireless miners were the stuff of newspapers, radio, television and the movies. Today the 20 Mule Team hauls exact replica wagons of the Death Valley Borax Wagons. More on that coming soon.
