Excerpt from A Little Journey Through the Great Southwest: For Home and School, and Upper Grades Now that so many American boys and girls are yearning to make a trip across the length or breadth of their own country, due to a growing sentiment among those who travel, which has for its motto, "See America First, " the number of young people who would like first of all to see the great Southwest probably equals that of those who would go first to New England, following our other Little Journey. Down in the Southwest, the Indian still lives, in places, in his primitive state. There, too, is the wily Mexican, or Spaniard, as he is called, and there, too, we shall find the Chinaman and the Jap, though these are more numerous in the extreme West. Then, too, all the wild life of the plains is to be seen on this Little Journey, and the very path of the railway is ever through scenes that teem with historical legend. Everything west of the Mississippi and south of a line drawn, say, east and west through San Francisco, may be termed the Southwest.
