[Geysers] F K Warren book

[Gary Einstein]

As a follow-up to Scott's posting, I've searched in google books for 
-Yellowstone & Geyser_ and came across 4 old articles and books:

    The California Illustrated Magazine
    A Trip to America
    Wonders of the Yellowstone
    California Illustrated

All are old articles or books and very interesting.

Attached is an engraving, showing a group of Lilliputians studying an 
eruption.

Also the authors were complaining about the terraces at Mamouth drying up.
