Walton, Eda Lou | July 15, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Starry Adventure," by Mary Austin. No one has written of New Mexico as a land sought for health and happiness, and this is actually the New Mexico of today. It is one such isolated group in its alien surroundings that Mary Austin chooses to write. She knows her subject from personal experience. She knows New Mexico as very few writers know it. The book is a fine piece of realism. Miss Austin knows every detail of the ranch life, knows the country and its changes, knows the Mexicans and the Indians living in it, the strangers coming into it from the East.
