uthwest has over
other countries is that the climate is mild and favorable to an outdoor
life, which is conducive to health and physical development.

No single race of men flourish equally well everywhere, but each one is
affected by its own surroundings; and, what is true of a race, is also
true of an individual. The pioneer in any country is always an
interesting character, but he differs in peculiarities according to his
environment of mountain, plain or forest. Occupation also exerts an
influence and in time develops distinct types like the trapper, miner,
soldier and cowboy, that only the graphic pencil of a Remington can
accurately portray. The eccentricities of character which are
sometimes met in men who dwell on the frontier are not always due alone
to disposition, but are largely the product of the wild life which they
live, that inclines them to be restless, reckless and even desperate.

There is no better field for observing and studying the effects of
environment upon human life than is furnished by the arid region of the
southwest.
