Burnished copper mesas, pricked cacti, and hunched Joshua trees in
the Mojave Desert stand as timeless witnesses to the evolution of
the Western landscape, once the territory of ancient native tribes
and now a high speed transportation corridor linking the sleek
metropolises of Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Rising from the Mojave
sands along with those more familiar physical elements are
fifty-five narratives gathered here by Peter Wild that chronicle
the evolving character and landscape of a legendary region of the
American West.
"True Tales of the Mojave" is the first literary anthology to
explore the place of the Mojave Desert, both past and present, in
the American imagination. Wild provides engaging readings--ranging
chronologically from prehistoric origin myths of native people to
contemporary literature--that will delight readers drawn to the
rich lore of the Mojave. The volume also captures the alien yet
arresting beauty of the desert with a thirty-two-page galley of
black-and-white illustrations and photographs featuring the people
and places of the Mojave. "True Tales of the Mojave" unearths
evocative writings that plumb the depths of this mythic desert of
the American West.
