THE 

 MYSTIC MID=REQION 



THE DESERTS OF THE SOUTHWEST 

 BY 



ARTHUR J. BURDICK 



Octavo, With 54 fullspage illustrations. 

 Net, $2.25. By mail, $2.40 



Mr. Burdick brings to the public both a general know- 

 ledge of the deserts of the Southwest and a particular 

 acquaintance by means of pen and camera with many 

 of the most unique features and interesting localities 

 in California and adjacent desert regions. 



The deserts offer so many obstacles to research that 

 they are comparatively unknown. He who braves the 

 perils and endures the hardships finds himself amply 

 repaid, as they offer one of the most interesting fields 

 for exploration and nature study. The present volume 

 is a faithful chronicle of both the deserts' pleasures and 

 terrors, dangers and delights, mysteries and revelations.
