    Fourth Printing Camp-Fires on Desert and Lava With many illustrations, eight of them in colors, from photographs taken by Dr. Daniel Trembly MacDougal, Mr. John M. Phillips, and the Author, and two new and original maps by Mr. Godfrey Sykes, Geographer of the Expedition. 8vo No book on any desert region ever was more fascinating than this beautiful volume. The wonders of the Sonoran Desert and volcanic Pinacate are portrayed with great literary skill and wealth of fine illustrations. It describes the finest desert trip ever put into a book, and the humor of it is delightful. “Whether it is read as a rattling story of adventure or for the scien- tific value of the exploring party’s observation, it will richly repay the reader.”—Pittsburgh Gazette. “Alike to the botanist and the biologist, these researches will be found of the very greatest value; but the book may be no less confidently commended to the general reader. For it is a record of heroic enter- prises, of privations cheerfully undergone and of difficulties success- fully surmounted.”—London Academy.
