The Desert And The Sown is a memoir by Mary Hallock Foote, originally published in 1902. The book chronicles the author's experiences living in the American West during the late 19th century. Foote and her husband moved from the East Coast to a remote mining town in Idaho, where they struggled to make a living and adapt to the harsh desert environment. Foote describes the challenges of building a home, raising children, and dealing with the isolation and loneliness of frontier life. She also writes about the complex relationships between settlers, Native Americans, and the government, as well as the impact of industrialization on the natural landscape. The Desert And The Sown is a vivid and insightful portrait of a fascinating period in American history.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.
