The Desert And The Sown is a classic memoir written by Mary Hallock Foote. The book is set in the late 1800s and tells the story of the author's experiences as a young woman living in the American West. Foote and her husband Arthur, a mining engineer, move to the desert town of Boise City, Idaho, where they encounter a harsh and unforgiving landscape. Despite the challenges, Foote finds herself drawn to the beauty of the desert and the resilience of the people who live there. She describes the struggles of the settlers, the hardships they face, and the friendships she forms with them. The book is a vivid portrayal of life in the American West during a time of great change and expansion. It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of perseverance in the face of adversity. The Desert And The Sown is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West, and for those who appreciate a well-written memoir.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.
