Arizona Nights

by Stewart Edward White, 1st World Library (Editor), 1stworld Library (Editor)

Overview

The ring around the sun had thickened all day long, and the turquoise blue of the Arizona sky had filmed. Storms in the dry countries are infrequent, but heavy; and this surely meant storm. We had ridden since sun-up over broad mesas, down and out of deep canons, along the base of the mountain in the wildest parts of the territory. The cattle were winding leisurely toward the high country; the jack rabbits had disappeared; the quail lacked; we did not see a single antelope in the open.

About the Author

Stewart Edward White was an American author, novelist, and spiritualist who lived from 12 March 1873 until September 18, 1946. He was Gilbert White's brother, a well-known muralist. White, the son of Mary E. (Daniel) and lumberjack Thomas Stewart White, was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He graduated from the University of Michigan after graduating from Grand Rapids High School (B.A., 1895; M.A., 1903). He wrote adventure and travel-related fiction and non-fiction from around 1900 to roughly 1922, with a focus on natural history and outdoor living. Beginning in 1922, he and his wife Elizabeth "Betty" Grant White published a number of publications they claimed to have received through mediumship. Additionally, they wrote about their excursions throughout the state of California. White passed away at the age of 73 in Hillsborough, California. At a period when America was losing its wildness, White's writings were well-liked. He was an astute observer of both natural and human beauty, and he could express them simply. He added witty and entertaining information about cabin-building, paddling, logging, gold-searching, and weapons, as well as fishing and hunting, whether he was writing camping journals or Westerns, based on his own experience.
