About this product

Product Information

In 1917 Mabel Sterne, patron of the arts and spokeswoman for the New York avant-garde, came to the Southwest seeking a new life. This autobiographical account, long out-of-print, of her first few months in New Mexico is a remarkable description of an Easterner's journey to the American West. It is also a great story of personal and philosophical transformation. The geography of New Mexico and the culture of the Pueblo Indians opened a new world for Mabel. She settled in Taos immediately and lived there the rest of her life. Much of this book describes her growing fascination with Antonio Luhan of Taos Pueblo, whom she subsequently married. Her descriptions of the appeal of primitive New Mexico to a world-weary New Yorker are still fresh and moving. "I finished it in a state of amazed revelation . . . it is so beautifully compact and consistent. . . . It is going to help many another woman and man to 'take life with the talons' and carry it high."--Ansel Adams

    Taos

    Wonderful descriptions of Taos in the 20’s. Makes me want to go on a retreat to Mabel’s house there.

    One of the Best Books I Have EVER Read!

    This is my third copy of this book and I have given away many others! Mabel Luhan has such a distinctive way of writing and although I have read several of her other works, this on is BY FAR the best. It is just an excellent story!
