Synopsis
Excerpt from The Magazine of History With Notes and Queries, Vol. 21: July-December, 1915
A lake, sixty miles long, cold and pellucid, lies embosomed among high, precipitous moun tains. On the west side is a sloping plain, several miles wide, with clumps of trees and groves of pines. The ground resounds with the tread Of horses. Geysers spout up seventy feet high, with a terrific, hissing noise, at regular intervals. Waterfalls are sparkling, leaping and thun dering down the precipices and collect in the pools below. The river issued from this lake, and for fifteen miles roars through the perpendicular canyon at the outlet. In this section are the Great Springs, so hot that meat is readily cooked in them, and as they descend on the successive terraces, afiord at length delightful baths. On the other side is an acid spring, which gushes out in a river torrent; and below is a cave, which supplies vermillion for the sav ages in abundance.
In the admirable summary we readily discover the Yellowstone Lake, the Grand Canyon, the falls, the geyser basins, the mammoth springs and Cinnabar mountain.
