Outland is a novel written by Mary Austin, first published in 1910. The story is set in the fictional mining town of Sawtooth, located in the high desert of California. The main character, a young woman named Hope Dering, moves to Sawtooth with her father and quickly becomes disillusioned with the harsh and unforgiving landscape. She struggles to adapt to the isolation and loneliness of life in the desert, but finds solace in her friendship with a local Native American woman named Guadalupe. As Hope becomes more involved in the community, she becomes aware of the injustices and exploitation that the miners and Native Americans face at the hands of the powerful mining company. She becomes an advocate for their rights, even as she faces opposition and danger from those who would silence her. Outland is a powerful exploration of the themes of identity, community, and justice. Austin's vivid descriptions of the desert landscape and its inhabitants bring the story to life, while her nuanced portrayal of Hope's journey from disillusionment to activism is both inspiring and thought-provoking. The novel is a classic of American literature, and continues to be relevant today as a commentary on social and environmental issues.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
