“The tone of the book is frank, almost colloquial, always communicative and leaves a favorable impression both of the intelligence and good nature with which the author pursued his way through unknown wilds. * * They are excellent specimens of terse and graphic composition, presenting a distinct image to the mind, without any superfluous details.”—New York Tribune.

“This little gem of a book is one of the best instances of multum in parvo that has been furnished the reading public in a long time. * * The poetry is of a kind not often seen now-a-days; it is of the soul, and reads as though given by inspiration. * * There is a mysticism in the little book, which reminds us of the ‘Lotus Eaters’ or ‘Festus.’”—The Alliance.
