Abstract: The Miriam A. Romero Amargosa Niter Collection is a collection of research materials intended for an eventual monograph on the history of the people and drama involved in the search for niter in the late 1800s and early 1900s titled, A Well-Known Secret: The Niter Hunters of the Amargosa in the Death Valley Region. Although Miriam Romero died before writing the book, her research materials have been preserved in the hope a new researcher will become inspired to complete Mim's vision.

Scope and Contents

The Miriam A. Romero Amargosa Niter Collection consists of correspondence, notes, maps, geological reports, photographs, digital materials, diaries, genealogies, periodicals, and publications generated and gathered by Miriam A. Romero during the course of her research into the history of niter in the Amargosa region.

Biographical / Historical

Miriam A. "Mim" Romero was raised in the small mining town of Hibbing, Minnesota. She received a B.A. in geography from California State University Northridge and an M.Ed. from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Her career in the field of education spanned 37 years.

Starting in the mid-1960s, Mim explored the Death Valley region extensively; hiking, backpacking, and mountain climbing in the various canyons, salt flats, and high snow-covered peaks of the valley. Those explorations resulted in an intimate knowledge of the area.

In 1972, Miriam and her husband, Ben, coordinated an effort to have the Amargosa Canyon area along the Amargosa River in the southeastern portion of the Death Valley region, set aside as a protected area. Assisting in this effort were 40 scientists, historians, bird watchers, and desert enthusiasts. The effort was successful and the Amargosa Canyon area was established as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) by the California Desert Conservation Area (CDCA) Plan of 1980 to protect the natural, geological and cultural resources of the area. It is managed by the U. S. Bureau of Land Management.

Through that effort, Mim gained an in-depth knowledge of Amargosa River area resources and considered herself an expert on the history of the region.

Following Ben's death, Mim became interested in the mining history of the Amargosa area, particularly the mining of niter. Prior to the synthetic production of nitrate salts (saltpeter) at the turn of the 20th century, the mineral niter was valued as an ingredient in the manufacture of gunpowder. Exploitation of niter discovered in the soils of the Amargosa area was seen as a domestic alternative to importation of niter from the Atacama Desert of Chile.

Mim researched the subject with the goal of writing a history of the people and drama involved in the search for niter in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Although Mim passed away before she could write her book titled, A Well-Known Secret: The Niter Hunters of the Amargosa in the Death Valley Region, her research materials have been preserved in the hope a new researcher will become inspired to complete Mim's vision.
