Here the English text is written by British geologist and mountaineer Thomas George Bonney 1833-1923 who doesn't so much translate from the original German text but rather uses it solely for reference. As stated in the preface Bonney mainly used his own notes and recollections from his experiences in these locations as the basis to create a mostly original text. Like the German edition accompanying and inspiring the text are a total 24 plates of mounted albumen photographs reproducing original paintings of various locations and landscapes of the Swiss Alps by Gustav Paul Closs 1840 - 1870 and Otto Frölicher 1840-1890. Also included are numerous smaller in-text engraved images including historiated initials and tailpieces by artist Gustave Roux 1828-1885. Table of contents at the back.

"On a fateful foggy evening not long ago Thomas Steinbeck told California landscape painter Benjamin Brode about the legendary 'watchers' who roam the wilds of Big Sur. The particulars of the account had been told to Steinbeck as a child and authenticated by such credible sources as his grandmother Olive Hamilton and Billy Post descendant of El Sur Grande ranchers and at that time the resident sage of the Post Ranch Inn. Steinbeck's compelling tale took root in Brode's imagination" and after Brode visited Big Sur bringing along "a basket of food and offerings designed to appeal to Dark Watchers' sensibilities" he returned hom and starting painting. The result was this beautifully-illustrated book.
