In Desert Keeping is a book written by Edmund Mitchell and published in 1905. The book is a memoir of the author's experiences living in the American Southwest during the late 19th century. Mitchell was a rancher and explorer who spent many years in the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, and his book offers a unique perspective on life in this harsh and unforgiving environment.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of desert life. Mitchell discusses the challenges of surviving in the desert, including the scarcity of water and the constant threat of predators such as snakes and coyotes. He also describes the beauty of the desert landscape, with its towering mesas and colorful sunsets.Throughout the book, Mitchell shares stories of his adventures in the desert, including his encounters with Native American tribes and his experiences as a cattle rancher. He also offers insights into the culture and customs of the people who lived in the Southwest during this time period.In Desert Keeping is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, when the American West was still largely unexplored and untamed. Mitchell's vivid descriptions of the desert landscape and his personal experiences living in this challenging environment make this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American Southwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
