Western Trails: A Collection of Short Stories by Mary Austin (Western Literature Series)

Fabulous Collection of collected stories by Mary Hunter Austin (September 9, 1868 - August 13, 1934) was an American writer. One of the early nature writers of the American Southwest, her classic The Land of Little Rain (1903) describes the fauna, flora and people - as well as evoking the mysticism and spirituality - of the region between the High Sierras and the Mojave Desert of southern California. For 17 years Austin made a special study of Indian life in the Mojave Desert and her writings reflect this.
