- Summary:
- "In this classic collection of essays, [Mary] Austin breathes life into the landscape, describing in loving and knowing detail its savage beauty, its plants and animals, and the occasional human visitor...Like the coyotes who follow the faint water trails of the desert valley, Mary Austin shows us things most humans would never notice, and in doing so, opens our eyes to a wider world."--back cover.
