"During the summer of 1880 I was so fortunate as to have the companionship and assistance of ^[[underlined]] Mr. Holmes.[[/underlined]] His reputation as a field-geologist is already established by his work in connection with Dr. Hayden's Survey. But besides rendering assistance in working out geological details he made many sketches which he has reproduced in the pictures of the text and in the panoramas of the Atlas. To praise such work would be superfluous. But I must call attention to a merit which may not be so obvious to one who has never seen the region, and this is the wonderful fidelity with which he portrays rock-characters." (Page viii, The Preface, by C. E. Dutton.)
