We are in northeastern Arizona, about fifty miles from the Santa Fe railroad, looking back S.W. in the direction of Flagstaff. the Navajos encamped here spend the summers in hogan like this near some gully where there is a spring of water. those poplar poles that form the frame of the hogan were brought perhaps twenty miles across the sands from a distant canyon where trees grow. the thatch is of course grass and sage brush, such as you see now growing in scattered latches in the sand.
