About This Item
Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran & Company, 1930 Doubleday, Doran & Company, Garden City, NY. 1930. Softcover/Trade Wraps/Advance Reading Copy. Stated First Edition. Signed by the author on the half title page. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Very Good; light soiling to wraps; light wear to tips and spine shoulders. No DJ. Off-white printed wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. Clean internals. 388 pp 12mo. Restless Yancey Cravat, a pioneer newspaper editor and lawyer, settles in Osage, a muddy town thrown together overnight when the Oklahoma territory opens in 1889. To this place he brings his wife Sabra, a woman both conventional and well-bred. Against all odds, Sabra develops a brilliant business sense. She makes a success of the newspaper, a success that ultimately leads her to Congress. Through Sabra's eyes we see the violent frontier collide with resentful Indians, the sodbusters tame the prairie, and the sudden fortune of a lucky few. A clean presentable copy.
