Synopsis
Excerpt: ...be well worthy of attention; but the attitude of "the numerous tribes of Indians" along the Colorado might interfere with the plans of newcomers and even compel the latter to live in caves or on ledges easily defended. And it is certain that soil insufficiently watered presents a distressingly sterile aspect in the neighborhood of the Colorado. One traveler, already quoted, says with regard to a wide section, that "the Pg 23 whole scene presented the most perfect picture of desolation I have ever beheld, as if some Sirocco had passed over the land, withering and scorching everything to crispness" (n. 60.) Notice this word "crispness" used by our author. Turned into Chinese it becomes han (crisp)
