Publisher's Synopsis
Camp and Camino in Lower California is a travelogue written by Arthur Walbridge North, chronicling his adventures while exploring the Baja California peninsula in Mexico in 1910. The book is divided into 18 chapters, each detailing a different aspect of North's journey, including his encounters with the local flora and fauna, interactions with the indigenous people, and descriptions of the landscape and geology of the region. North's journey took him from the border town of Mexicali down to the southern tip of the peninsula, covering over 1,000 miles on foot, horseback, and mule. Along the way, he encountered a variety of wildlife, including rattlesnakes, coyotes, and mountain lions, and observed the unique plant life of the desert region. He also spent time with the local tribes, including the Cochimi and the Seri, learning about their way of life and customs. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs taken by North, as well as detailed maps of the region. It provides a fascinating glimpse into a remote and largely unexplored area of Mexico at the turn of the 20th century, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, culture, and natural environment of Baja California.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
