Excerpt from New Trails in Mexico: An Account of One Year's Exploration in North-Western Sonora, Mexico, and South-Western Arizona, 1909-1910

This region, no doubt, recently had a less arid climate, with much greater rainfall than at the present time. It seems impossible to explain otherwise the recent great accumulation of detritus at Sonoita, at the origin of the little river of the same name, or the marked cfl'ect of the action of the water on the hard rocks of Tinaja de los Papagos. That country is a desert, on account of the scarcity of rain, but the soil is in places extremely fertile and I doubt not that through human agency large parts of it will some day delight the eye with waving fields of grain and orchards of fruit.

Excerpt from New Trails in Mexico: An Account of One Year's Exploration in North-Western Sonora, Mexico, and South-Western Arizona, 1909-1910

During the years 1909 and 1910 I was commissioned by some influential friends to look into certain economical possibilities of the arid and little known country along the upper part of the Gulf of California, east of the Colorado River. My field embraced most of the District of Altar, in the State of Sonora, Mexico, as well as the southern part of the newly admitted State of Arizona; in other words, the region which by the early Spanish chroniclers was designated as Papagueria, after the native inhabitants, the Papago Indians. Some of this country, being the least accessible part of the Sonora Desert, is singularly little known, though lying, so to speak, at the door of the great empire of Yankee enterprise. My mission gave me an opportunity for geographical and ethnological studies, an account of which is here presented in popular form. For this opportunity I am grateful to my friends.

Among my predecessors in exploration of the Papagueria should be mentioned Prof. W. J. McGee, well known from his studies of the Seri Indians, lower down the Gulf. In the nineties he made journeys through parts of this region and he has published interesting accounts of the desert and its natives.
