Camp Fires On Desert And Lava Classic Reprint

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.
