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".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Has anybody else located neat stuff in Google Books?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">AOL now offers free email to everyone.
