Books for the Winter Vacationist 
“SEE AMERICA FIRST” 
How many Americans know that we have an Egypt in our own Southwest; a Mediterranean 
in the Southern Pacific; prehistoric ruins antedating the Pyramids and the sand-buried columns 
of Phrygia; and a world of undiscovered, unclimbed peaks in the Rockies? 
“Thrilling with human inter¬ 
est,” says the New York Times. 
Through Our Unknown 
Southwest 
By AGNES C. LAUT 
This book tells of the remains of 
one of the world’s oldest civiliza¬ 
tions, antedating perhaps that of 
ancient Egypt; of the Cliff Dwell¬ 
ings, the Pueblos, the Navajo and 
Hopi Indians, and the National 
Forests—all within the borders of 
the United States. Every Ameri¬ 
can who wishes to know his own 
country should read this remark¬ 
able portrayal of some of its great¬ 
est wonders.
