A link to the PDF of William Hornaday's Camp-Fires on Desert and Lava. As a companion volume to ‘Campfires in the Canadian Rockies,’ this book covers an expedition made by Hornaday and a party of friends from Tucson, Arizona across the desert to Northwestern Mexico. His narrative details the terrain that they covered and the wildlife they encountered, as well as unqiue experiences told with humor, vigor and a raciness of phrase. This book provided by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records is the 1983 alternative edition.
