Items related to The Land of Journeys' Ending (Southwest Herigage)
One of the joys of going on a trip is coming home to share with others your adventures and experiences. Mary Austin felt that way, so when she took an extended trip through an area of the American Southwest, she recorded her impressions in The Land of Journeys' Ending. This is no ordinary travel book and she was no ordinary tourist. Her book goes beyond the descriptions of flora and fauna of the land between the Colorado River and the Rio Grande. It also covers the history, culture and customs of the area. Austin includes not only figures from the past but people she met on the trip. While the book is now decades old, it is timeless and still valid. Humorously, in the author's preface to The Land of Journeys' Ending Austin said: 'If you find holes in my book that you could drive a car through, do not be too sure they were not left there for that express purpose.' Her statement rings true today as much as it did back in 1924.

About the Author:
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. Sunstone Press is pleased to present this new facsimile edition of The Land of Journeys' Ending in its Southwest Heritage Series, along with her classic The Land of Little Rain, her autobiographical Earth Horizon, and her book on Native American songs, The American Rhythm.
Review:
"Austin writes with a singular force and charm and with an intensity of conviction of their worth that is truly stimulating."
