I beheld such a display of glory as falls, at sunset, on the bald
head of the old Chisos Mountain, as witnessed at a distance of
twenty-five miles. No painter could mix colors to justly portray
it. No words can describe its splendor. First orange, then pink,
then crimson, and last of all darkening purple, threw tints on
the mountain's dark background and all faded insensible into
neutral twilight. An old Mexican, who could neither read nor
write, stood beside me. I pointed to the Chisos. His countenance
lighted up. He exclaimed, 'Bonito!' It was an eloquent tribute."[18]
