His journeys took him throughout Nevada, Arizona and Utah, often with just a pack mule and supplies. While traveling he was very good about sending vividly descriptive letters to his family detailing his explorative days out in the wilderness. The letters are now published in chronological order in the book called "Vagabond for Beauty," by W.L. Rusho. Although his original plan was to paint a collection of pictures pic-tures for exhibition, Everett used some of his artwork throughout his travels as trade for other services.
