"In the present work, which is in reality a study from nature, there is a castellated cliff, 1,000 feet high, formed
of a yellow-toned sandstone and capped with red or blood-covered lava, which as it has become disintegrated by the
action of the atmosphere runs down its perpendicular sides, one color mingling with another in rich confusion, until at
its base it assumes a gray-green tone of surprising brilliancy."
New York Post, November 18, 1874, quoted in Anderson, Thomas Moran, 73.
