A Frashers Foto Card Scenic Photos of the West THE JOHNSONS AND DEATH VALLEY SCOTTY SCOTTY'S CASTLE, DEATH VALLEY, CA - 1934 Financier, A.M. Johnson and his wife Bessilyn in repose at their desert home with famed prospector and cowboy, Death Valley Scotty (seated center). To some, the deep friendship between the Johnsons with their genteel Eastern sensibilities and the rugged, sometimes profane, Scotty is enigmatic. Scotty purposefully shrouded his prospecting and adventures in mystery and intrigue, but he never obscured his love for the rugged country of Death Valley. The Johnsons too, felt a profound affection for the stark beauty and peacefulness of this mighty desert - providing a common bond for this lifelong friendship.
