Product Overview

A vast land of mineral wealth, eerie beauty and countless contrasts, the Mojave Desert joined the Union of the United States on September 5, 1850 and became part of the new San Bernadino County three years later. A massive, parched region, its varied terrain rolls eastward from the Antelope Valley to the Colorado River. The nation's highest temperature on record occurred in this region; on the other extreme, the freezing winters here shroud the land in ice and snow. This thirsty expanse climbs to over 4,000 feet, with a great number of different wildlife forms making their homes among the hills. Featuring over 200 evocative and illustrative images, The Mojave Desert is an entertaining and educational source of information about the area and its unique history.
  • John M. Swisher is a leading authority on the Mojave Desert, having written several books and numerous papers on the subject since 1937
  • Contains 200 black and white images
  • Part of the Images of America series
