Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

About the Author:
Review:
John Randolph Spears (1850-1936), author of The Gold Diggings of Cape Horn: A Study of Life in Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia, served for fifteen years as a reporter for the New York Sun. Douglas Steeples is an emeritus professor of history at Mercer University.
"Not many accounts about late nineteenth-century Death Valley exist, so Illustrated Sketches is an important addition to a small body of literature. Spears's writing is lively, the vignettes personable and appealing, the scenery intriguing." -- Ann Ronald, University of Nevada, Reno
