The journey described in the above volume was taken in the winter of 1888 9, by the author, accompanied by his family and a few friends. It comprises a trip across the continent by the most picturesque route, and along the Pacific Coast to Lower California, and the travellers were in all nearly three months en route. The author possessed, among other qualifications for a successful traveller, an enthusiastic interest in his undertaking, and in the very complete organization of his travelling arrangements he also possessed exceptional facilities for seeing all that there was to be seen in the country gone over-a country which, in the rapid progress of settlement, is changing so extensively from year to year, that the descriptions given five years back would to-day hardly be recognizable.
