[Geysers] F K Warren book

[TSBryan at aol.com]

Every now and then I mount yet another attempt to learn something --  
anything ! -- about artist T Hildebrand [ ? possibly Hildibrand], but so far  
nothing. Montana Historical Society; YNP and Whittlesey, and etc. etc. have been  
able to provide no info about this guy who produced woodcut engravings of such  
things as Castle, Giant, etc. (usually copying either early Jackson photos or  
similar woodcuts by other artists). One place where two or three of 
Hildebrand's  engravings appeared is F. K Warren's _California Illustrated, includign a 
trip  through Yellowstone Park.... with numerous wood engravings, by the best  
artists".
 
Anyhow all that being an aside, today I found that this book is among those  
that have been digitized by Google Books. The Yellowstone chapter (at the end 
of  the book) contains interesting reading (description of Norris: "Ugh ! how 
it  smells !" ). I located the book via a Google search by entering 
"California  Illustrated F. K. Warren" (without the quote marks). It can be downloaded 
as an  ~6MB PDF.
 
Has anybody else located neat stuff in Google Books?
