I was poking around for a copy of WT Hornaday's "Campfires on Desert and Lava" to replace the weathered copy my grandfather had given me as a boy (which was later stolen along with some others of my wonderful old naturalist books), when I came across an 'online' version of this title, as well as one for one of the author's earlier works "Campfires in the Canadian Rockies"
I thought some of you fellow Mountain and Desert hunters here would enjoy these colorfully descriptive journals of two early 20th century expeditions by one of our Continent's (highly underappreciated) pioneering Conservation visionaries.
Some wild and woolly adventures indeed, and some fine specimens procured
