The Trail Book (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169281141)

The Trail Book is a non-fiction book written by Mary Austin, an American writer and activist. The book was first published in 1918 and has since become a classic in the field of nature writing. The Trail Book is a collection of essays that explore the natural world and the relationship between humans and nature. Austin writes about her experiences on the trails of the American West, describing the flora and fauna she encounters and reflecting on the spiritual and philosophical significance of these encounters. She also writes about the history and culture of the regions she visits, including the Native American tribes who once inhabited these lands. The Trail Book is a beautifully written and insightful book that celebrates the beauty and wonder of the natural world, while also highlighting the importance of preserving and protecting it for future generations.""That was a hundred years before my time, and is a Telling of the Lenni-Lenape. In the Red Score it is written, the Red Score of the Lenni-Lenape. When my home was in the village there, the Five Nations held all the country between the lakes and the Mohican-ittuck. But there were many small friendly tribes along the borders, Algonquian mostly.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
