“Written with all his graceful style and imagery, it may be called a literary guidebook of a superior kind. About half the book is devoted to the rock structure of this geologist’s paradise, and as these pages have not only been carefully prepared by the author but have been read in proof by Mr Ransome, of the Geological survey, they may be accepted as accurate.” F: S. Dellenbaugh

“It is a good book for a pleasant afternoon. Mr Van Dyke does not philosophize or preach or rub in his colors so intensely that he forces you to yawn. There are none of the clichés of the improving book here.” M. F. Egan
