Description:
New York: Greystone Press, 1941. First Edition. Octavo (21.5cm); red linen, light green panel on spine with titles stamped in gilt; dustjacket; 245pp. Attractive bookplate of a former Pennsylvania coal miner (Charles Schifano) on front pastedown.

While on the run, he is tricked into taking a job as a strike breaker, and is ultimately shot dead by strikers and lawmen. Idell, a Philadelphia native, drew from his own experiences as a boxer and fight promoter for the novel's background.…
