Mary Austin published her autobiography in 1932 near the end of her
long and creative career. "Earth Horizon" is both an account of her
personal life and of her development as a writer. As always true to
her special individualism, she wrote this book sometimes in the
first person voice and sometimes in the third person. Using this
literary device enabled her to speak frankly about her life while
also commenting on the events and decisions that formed and
influenced her life and writing. "Earth Horizon" is not only unique
in its approach but brings a special psychological interest to the
subject of autobiography. Mary Austin (nee Hunter) was born in
Carlinville, Illinois in 1868 and died in Santa Fe, New Mexico in
1934. After graduation from Blackburn College, she moved with her
family to California. She later spent time in New York and
eventually settled in Santa Fe. A prolific writer, she wrote
novels, short stories, essays, plays and poetry. Austin became an
early advocate for environmental issues as well as the rights of
women and other minority groups. She was particularly interested in
the preservation of American Indian culture.
