About This Item
New York: Duell, Sloan, & Pearce, 1938. Hardcover. Small 4to. Decorative paper over boards, decorative dust jacket. 270pp. Minor binding edgewear, with corners a tad bumped; jacket complete but a bit edgeworn, with small chips at extremities, large chip at spine head and a bit rubbed and age toned; 1949 ownership signature on inner flyleaf. Nice, tight first edition of the first book by this American writer (1906-56) of fiction and nonfiction, much of it Native American focused. Colophon at front notes limitation of 1500 numbered copies (this #921) signed boldly by Corle in blue ink. This unusual Santa Fe tale (to quote front jacket panel) "occurs during twelve hours on a Saturday night in August, 1938 -- from five o'clock in the afternoon until five o'clock in the morning." Striking book and jacket designed by noted designer Merle Armitage.
