Excerpt from A Guidebook to Colorado The dweller in a flat country has no idea of the pleas ure in store for him when he visits a mountain region for the first time.

Excerpt from Colorado The latest account you have had of me is $515; a few days before landing at New York, so I must try to pick up my story from there. All you will probably hear is a few short lines at times from different places, just to say where and how I am, and this journal will have to supply the place of long letters, and be sent round after I get home again.

Excerpt from Olden Times in Colorado Our Author was a competent editorial writer, hence his style is simple and impressive. What he knows he knows thoroughly, and he expresses himself clearly and logically. This is why his Book is so delightful to read. When we think of the exactions of newspaperdom, is it any wonder that so few editors rise above the level of the crowd that they are compelled to patronize to exist at all? Davis was wise but not servile. Had he learned to bend the pregnant hinges of the knee, he would surely have been Governor of his State, or installed in some other high office within the power of the politicians. Though a loyal partisan, if not a stubborn one, he fought crooked methods and crooks within his party fully as sincerely and ably as those men and measures he was opposed to.

Excerpt from Guidebook of the Western United States: Part C. The Santa Route; With a Side Trip to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado In going from Kansas City to Los Angeles, a distance of nearly miles, by the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway the traveler sees a Wide diversity of geographic and industrial conditions. First he crosses the Great Plains, which extend for 500 miles, to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. In the eastern part of these plains the rainfall is ample for crops, so that nearly all the land is in farms and the population is moderately dense. Toward the west the climate becomes increasingly arid and farms give place to scattered cattle ranches, except along some of the watercourses where irrigation is practicable. Running streams and groves of trees are numerous in the eastern part, but the watercourses in the western part are much smaller and many of them are dry in summer, and the principal trees are cottonwoods, which grow along some of the valleys.

Excerpt from Adventures in the Canyons of the Colorado Born in Shelbyville, Indiana, in 1848, he came 'to Arizona, by way of an hospital for incurables in New York, to die. Life in the Open gave him a new hope, and at 72 he is still hale, hearty, vigorous and capable of more work than many a city-bred youth Of 25. His life in Arizona has been a romance throughout, and in much Of it I have either shared or been an interested spectator. My first meeting with Mr. Bass was at Flagstaff in 1888, under the following circumstances. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons: Formerly Titled: Canyons of the Colorado N my return from the first exploration of the canyons of the Colorado, I found that our journey had been the theme of much newspaper writing. A story of disaster had been circulated, with many particulars of hardship and tragedy, so that it was currently believed throughout the United States that all the mem bers of the party were lost save one. A good friend of mine had gathered a great number of obituary notices, and it was interesting and rather flattering to me to discover the high esteem in which I had been held by the people of the United States. In my supposed death I had attained to a glory which I fear my continued life has not fully vindicated. The exploration was not made for adventure, but purely for scientific purposes, geographic and geologic, and I had no intention of writing an account of it, but only of recording the scientific results. Immediately on my return I was interviewed a number of times, and these interviews were published in the daily press; and here I supposed all interest in the exploration ended. But in 187 4 the editors of Scribner's Monthly requested me to publish a popular account of the Colorado exploration in that journal. To this I acceded and prepared four short articles, which were elaborately illustrated from photographs in my possession.
