The Desert And The Sown is a memoir written by Mary Hallock Foote, an American author and illustrator. The book is a vivid account of her experience living in the American West during the late 19th century. Foote and her husband, Arthur, moved to the mining town of Boise, Idaho, where they encountered the harsh realities of life in the desert. The book describes their struggles to adapt to the arid climate, their encounters with Native Americans, and their efforts to make a living in a challenging environment. Foote's writing is rich in detail, and she provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily lives of people in the West during this time period. The book is also notable for its illustrations, which were drawn by Foote herself. Overall, The Desert And The Sown is a captivating memoir that offers a unique perspective on life in the American West.I knew she'd have friends enough, once she was quit of me. That was the case between us. The thing that hurt me most was to put her letter back where I found it, and leave it, there with him. Her little cry to me--and I couldn't come! I read the words over and over, I've said 'em to myself ever since. I've lived on them. But I had to leave the letter there to show I'd never come back. I put it back after he was dead.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
