" The natural vrondera of the Great West, and especially those of the 

 Yellowstone region, have been frequently described. But it can be safely 

 said that, however familiar they may have become, either through books 

 Of by travel there, every one will find these sketches of them well worth 

 reading. It is a most impressive volume ; and this comes from the fact 

 that the author gives a plain and clear description, and does not attempt 

 to portray the wonder or the admiration which he himself felt. The re- 

 sult is, that the grandeur of the objects themselves reaches, directly and 

 naturally, the soul of every reader. We commend the volume as one 

 which, in the first place, has an abundance of things which every Ameri- 

 can, at least, ought to know, and one which, in the second place, is un- 

 usually readable." — N. Y. Churchman. 



" Mr. Edwin J. Stanley has made a book with the title ' Bamblcs in 

 Wonderland' out of his notes and letters written during a season of 

 travel up the Tellowstone Kiver and through the Yellowstone Park. The 

 book pretends to no special literary excellence, but is briskly written, 

 and may be read with interest. Some of its descriptions are very graphic 

 and picturesque, and, with its excellent illustrations, it is a travel-sketch 

 of much interest and value." — M. T. Evening Post. 



" The famous cafions, the hot springs or geysers, the National Park, 

 the Indian agencies, the tribes of the Sioux, Crows, and other aboriginals ; 

 Indian fighting, the massacre of pleasure-parties in the l^ational Park, 

 hunting, fishing, and the usual adventures of travel in a wild country, are 

 among the subjects treated." — N. Y. Home Journal. 



" An account of the summer rambles of a Methodist preacher in the 

 wondrous Yellowstone region. The numerous chapters are vivid pictures 

 of the journey to and through that enchanted land." — N. Y. Christian 

 Advocate. 



" This is a well-printed book of 179 pages, by a worthy and useful 

 Southern Methodist preacher — one of our brethren on the far frontier of 

 the new Northwest. There is much in the book to interest and instruct. 

 It is pleasant reading for a man ; it would delight a boy with any soul in 

 him." — Macon (Ga.) Weslei/an Christian Advocate.
