THE 



LAND OF LITTLE RAIN 



By MARY AUSTIN 



THIS is a book of unique interest about out-door 

 life in the arid region of Southeastern Califor- 

 nia. It describes the marvels of the desert, the In- 

 dian, the Greaser, and the gold-hunter, the strange 

 birds and beasts and flowers of that region, with 

 extraordinary fidelity. 



" What John Muir has done for the western slopes of 

 the Sierras, with their solemn forests and their mys- 

 terious silences, Mrs. Austin does in a more tender 

 and intimate fashion for the eastern slopes."
