Little Rose of the Mesa by Madeline Brandeis (First Edition, 1935)

First Edition, 1935, Little Rose of the Mesa by Madeline Brandeis

Little Rose loves the bright, sunlit mesa country where she lives and she spends most of her time riding her fat little pony, "Roly" ; but she loves best of all to listen to the fascinating tales of the neighboring country, told her by the "digging-man" —an archeologist searching for signs of ancient civilization. He tells her stories of adventure and stories of the marvels of nature in her own New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Utah.

She hears about the Petrified Forest, Mesa Verde, the Puye Cliffs, the Carlsbad Caverns, Pike's Peak, the Grand Canyon, and many, many wonders of nature that have brought tourists from all over the world to this fascinating section of our country. And through it all, is the story of Lit-tie Rose's own great adventure when her friend entrusts her with one of his precious findings.

This is a colorful story about a delightful little girland five colorful States.
