Follow Boone and Crockett Club member William T. Hornaday on his month-long expedition in November 1907 to the uncharted lavascape of Arizona and Mexico to an area known as the Pinacate. Hornaday is joined by John Phillips who had accompanied him two years earlier in the Great North. You'll once again revel in their adventures with the author's entertaining prose as they encounter interesting characters, craters, cacti, and collect desert sheep for the Carnegie Museum.

Excerpt from Camp-Fires on Desert and Lava In November, southern Arizona is fascinating, no less. The boundless space, the glorious sunshine, the balmy air, the cleanness Of the face Of Nature, the absence of dust, filth, waste paper, polluted streams, dirty humanity, and many other things that wear on Life in a great city, strongly appeal to me. The countries that will grow corn and wheat and hogs in great abundance per acre are not the only lands worth knowing. Consider Ari zona. Certainly it is a Land of Health, and if ever I am called upon to die in the East, I will go there and live.
