Excerpt from Pictures of an Inland Sea

Captain Stansbury first pointed out (in his report of surveys 1849 50) how very much in the way of unusual scenery might be enjoyed on a cruise that would comprehend all parts of the Inland Sea; and its briny waters and their sur roundings, as viewed from the southern mainland, certainly mahe such a circumnavigation appear desirable. It was on such a lengthened cruise that the picturesque nature of Gunni'on Island was made apparent to the writer, and he felt his desire to live upon it. This, too, was long before his homesteading of the place was a possibility. The pictures are the result of that first and subsequent visits, and through an intimate acquaintance with the moods of the Inland Sea.
