Synopsis:
In this collection of meditations on the wonders of this region, Austin generously shares "such news of the land, of its trails and what is astir in them, as one lover of it can give to another." Her writings capture the landscape - from burnt hills to sun-baked mesas - 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.
About the Author: Robert Hass is currently a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. He teaches at the University of California at Berkeley.
