Editorial Reviews
Review
"A book equally as distinguished as it is distinctive; and its substance guarantees as perpetual the sustained interest that pulsates throughout every chapter... No desert collection even merits the name without a copy of the Spears." -- E. I. Edwards, The Enduring Desert
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.Review
"Not many accounts about late nineteenth-century Death Valley exist, so Illustrated Sketches is an important addition to a small body of literature. Spears's writing is lively, the vignettes personable and appealing, the scenery intriguing." -- Ann Ronald, University of Nevada, Reno
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
