About this Item
249 pp., photographs. A fine, unmarked, unblemished review copy with no book plates or previous owner writing in a bright near fine, unclipped dust jacket with a touch of fading to its spine. With her engineer husband the author went to Arizona prepared for the worst and found it. She learned the hard way to be miserly with water hauled over miles of blistering sand washes, and to bake successful pies and sourdough biscuits in fickle Dutch ovens over an ironwood campfire. A fascinating read of survival inhabiting the Lechuguilla Desert of southwestern Arizona. COLLECTOR QUALITY. Seller Inventory # 005698
