H. (William Howard), Sir Hesperothen; Notes from the West, Vol. 2 (of 2) A Record of a Ramble in the United States and Canada in the Spring and Summer of 1881 Produced by Melissa McDaniel and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Hesperothen; Notes from the West, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Sir William Howard Russell is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. This work recounts the author's experiences while traveling through the United States and Canada during the spring and summer of 1881, offering observations on landscapes, cultures, and the various societies he encounters. The narrative is likely to resonate with those interested in historical accounts of American adventure and exploration, particularly in relation to the transient nature of Western settlement and life. The opening of this volume sets the stage as Russell and his companions embark on a journey across Arizona. They encounter the harsh and dry landscapes characteristic of the region, which are filled with scattered settlements, mirages, and hints of rich historical origins through ancient ruins. Russell’s descriptive style brings to life the stark contrasts between the desolate terrain and the remnants of its once-thriving indigenous cultures, challenging notions of prosperity in a land often viewed through a purely economic lens. He reflects on the economic ventures and the social dynamics of towns like Deming and Yuma, illustrating the rough and often brutal realities faced by settlers and native populations alike, as well as the evolving understanding of the American West.
