The Land of Little Rain (Modern Library Classics)

The Land of Little Rain (Modern Library Classics)

â€œBetween the high Sierras south from Yosemiteâ€”east and south over a very great assemblage of broken ranges beyond Death Valley, and on illimitably into the Mojave Desertâ€ is the territory that Mary Austin calls the Land of Little Rain. In this classic collection of meditations on the wonders of this region, Austin generously shares â€œsuch news of the land, of its trails and what is astir in them, as one lover of it can give to another.â€ Her vivid writings capture the landscapeâ€”from burnt hills to sun-baked mesasâ€”as well as the rich variety of plant and animal life, and the few human beings who inhabit the land, including cattlemen, miners, and Paiute Indians. This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the original 1903 edition.
