Book Description
Excerpt from The Desert Home: Or the Adventures of a Lost Family in the Wilderness Of a similar character is the Great American Desert; but its surface is still more varied with what may be termed 'geographical features.' There are plains some of them more than a hundred miles wide where you can see nothing but white sand, often drifting about on the wind, and here and there thrown into long ridges such as those made by a snowstorm. There are other plains, equally large, where no sand appears, but brown barren earth utterly destitute of vegetation. There are others, again, on which grows a stunted Shrub with leaves of a pale silvery colour. In some places it grows so thickly.
