The Southwest: Old and New by W. Eugene Hollon (review)

H ine’s work is a significant contribution to literature on the Southxad western boundary as well as that about Bartlett himself. It is concise, well documented, and contains useful bibliographical information, in addition to inclusion of the extremely important illustrations. T he book is somewhat ungainly because of the dimensions of the illustrations, but this is compensated by the fact that they may be viewed without turning the book on its side to study them. T he plates are misnumbered beginning with number 37 (which is actually number 48), but this is a minor mechanical difficulty which in no way detracts from the excellent quality of H ine’s work.
