The Land of Journey's Ending
by Mary Austin; Illustrated by John Edwin Jackson
- New York The Century Company 1924
- 459 p.
The successful New York author describes the epic journey she undertook in 1923, when she left her East Coast home at the age of fifty-five to travel through the southwestern United States, where she had lived as a child and where she would later retire. Part memoir, part travel narrative, part historical investigation, and part ecological study, The Land of Journeys' Ending is a moving account of a woman coming full circle, finding solace in the broad landscape of her youth.
