Description
Mary Austin calls the Land of the Little Rain. In this classic collection of meditations on the wonders of this region, Austin generously shares "such news from the land, from her paths and what moves in them, as one lover of her can give to another." Her vivid writings capture the landscape, from scorched hills to sun-drenched plateaus, as well as the rich variety of plant and animal life, and the few humans that inhabit the land, including ranchers, miners, and Paiute Indians. This modern classic library book is set from the original 1903 edition
