Review

"The New York Times [in June 1900] pronounced it 'well-written and thoroughly interesting'... The reviewer concludes: 'The book... should add new interest to the coming summer for many to whom Nature is practically a sealed book, as well as heighten the pleasure of others to whom she has long been dear.'
