Descriere
Austin writes about the high plateau country lying between the Colorado and Rio Grande rivers, the traditional homeland of many Indian peoples--the Pueblo, the Zuni, the Hopi, and the Navajo.
Notă biografică
Mary Austin (nee Hunter) was born in Carlinville, Illinois in 1868 and died in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1934. After graduation from Blackburn College, she moved with her family to California. She later spent time in New York and eventually settled in Santa Fe. A prolific writer, she wrote novels, short stories, essays, plays and poetry. Austin became an early advocate for environmental issues as well as the rights of women and other minority groups. She was particularly interested in the preservation of American Indian culture. Her books include "The Land of Little Rain," "Earth Horizon," "The Land of Journeys' Ending," and "The American Rhythm," all available in new editions from Sunstone Press.
