The opalescent deserts of the American Southwest have become romantic icons in the public imagination through the words of writers. Throughout this text the author explores the lives and works of 16 writers whose words have helped shape visions of the opal desert. The author links all the writers as explorers of one kind or another, searching for tangible or intangible treasures. Some of the writers explored include widely read as well as lesser-known 19th and 20th century authors including Mary Austin, Joseph Wood Krutch, Edward Abbey and Ann Zwinger.
