About This Item
The Sierra Edition of Mary Austin's classic Land of Little Rain published in a smaller format than the earlier Houghton Mifflin edition (Zamorano Eighty # 2; Howes A400).
Synopsis
A stunning tribute to the savage beauty of the area known as Death Valley. To most travelers it is a parched, empty territory, unwelcoming and forgiving. In a collection of essays that date back almost a century, naturalist and writer Mary Austin (1868-1934) breathes life into the desert landscape, describing its savage beauty, its plants and animals, and the occasional human visitor.
