These true descriptions of the wonderful and almost unknown Southwest are part of the fruits of years of residence and study, and several hundreds of thousands of miles of travel on foot, on horseback, and by rail through this strange land. They are not the impressions of a random tourist across its bare, brown waste, but are drawn from intimacy with its quaint peoples, its weird customs and its dangers. A clean presentable copy.
