Summary

The country where you may have sight and touch of that which is written lies between the high Sierras south from Yosemite—east and south over a very great assemblage of broken ranges beyond Death Valley, and on illimitably into the Mojave Desert. You may come into the borders of it from the south by a stage journey that has the effect of involving a great lapse of time, or from the north by rail, dropping out of the overland route at Reno. The best of all ways is over the Sierra passes by pack and trail, seeing and believing. But the real heart and core of the country are not to be come at in a month’s vacation. One must summer and winter with the land and wait its occasions. Pine woods that take two and three seasons to the ripening of cones, roots that lie by in the sand seven years awaiting a growing rain, firs that grow fifty years before flowering,—these do not scrape acquaintance. But if ever you come beyond the borders as far as the town that lies in a hill dimple at the foot of Kearsarge, never leave it until you have knocked at the door of the brown house under the willow-tree at the end of the village street, and there you shall have such news of the land, of its trails and what is astir in them, as one lover of it can give to another.

Here are some of ’s Excellent Reviews

- "Spellbinding for a nature lover or armchair traveler. A great companion book. I read it several times and will again, especially when there's a bitter wind and a heavy snowfall and I can't get out and enjoy being in nature. Her style is intimate and generous if you crave detail and want to feel as though you are with her in her travels. Unforgettable and a cherished favorite of mine.“

The Land of Little Rain [Illustrated edition] eBook Mary Hunter Austin Milad Ghodsi Ria Jordan

Thiz is a short book, and I wish it had gone on longer. Written in (I'm guessing) the late 1800's or very early 1900's, it is a guide to the wildlife, geology, weather, wildflowers, trees and people of the Sierra Mountains in California, around the turn of 19th and 20th centuries. The author clearly spent a great deal of time observing life around her, as well as the times and seasons in the mountains. Most unusual and most wonderful, for the time, is her sympathetic and respectful writing of the Indians and Hispanics in the area. There is no hint of prejudice common to other writings of the time.

The archaic Victorian sentence structure was a bit of a bother; the author did enjoy long convoluted sentences. At times, I found myself re-reading a sentence over several times to figure out what the heck she meant. However, after a while, I got used to it, and was able to pull out the meaning with little trouble. This slight difficulty in reading was the only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the natural history of the American desert.
