Editorial Review:

Product Description:
For 17 years, from 1930 to 1947, poet, artist, and author Marshal South and his family lived on Ghost Mountain—a remote, waterless mountaintop that is today within California’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Over a period of nine of those years, South chronicled his family’s controversial primitive lifestyle through popular monthly articles written for Desert Magazine. The articles reflected his passion for the desert while praising its early inhabitants and their lifestyle. Drawing on his poetic skills, SOuth wrote vivid word pictures about the desert—its beauty and natural history—as well as their daily life at Yaquitepec, creating both a very loyal and supportive readership and naysayers who objected to his philosophy and lifestyle. After years of silence Rider South, the eldest of the three children who were raised on Ghost Mountain, and his wife Lucile feel it is time to tell the story and to set the record straight. The book includes their own memories plus all of Marshal South’s Desert Magazine articles and many never-before-published photographs of the family.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book for desert lovers...
Honestly, I have always been a water person. I need lakes and streams, and trees. Conifers are best, but oaks and sycamores will do. Marshal South is the kind of nature lover I wish I was. He had no fear of the desert, her hot sun, dry winds, and the lack of water. I admire his wilderness and artistic skills, and the profound wisdom to survive, and even prosper in that kind of environment.

This book is the result of a graduate student who was studying Anza Borrego for her research ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Rebirth of a Kindred Soul
The first time I heard of Marshal South is when we pulled up to the bottom of Ghost Mountain in the Anza Borrego State Park and read the story of the South's on the kiosk there. I remember my young wife commenting on how ambiguous the story was. Shortly after that, within a year, a scathing article appeared on Marshall South in the San Diego Reader that painted him as a cruel controller who tricked his wife into moving to the desert, and that the children were traumatized by the whole experience. The ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - For anyone with an interest in "back to nature" movements
For seventeen years (1930 to 1947), poet, artist, and author Marshal South and his family lived on the remote, waterless mountaintop in California's Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and is referred to as "Ghost Mountain". For nine of those years, Marshal South chronicled his family's controversial primitive lifestyle through popular monthly articles written for "Desert Magazine". The articles reflected his passion for the desert while praising its early inhabitants and their lifestyle. An acrimonious divorce ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Rebirth of the Desert Prophet
After being quiet for more than 50 years, Marshal South is finally being introduced to a new generation. This book is not only priceless in terms of making South's work available again, it is also a timely reminder of why connecting with nature is vital to our existence. The first section of the book is a short history of Marshal and how his family built their dream on a waterless mountain in the Anza-Borrego Desert. Diana Lindsay has done a phenomenal job investigating and revealing the truth about the South's ... Read More
