About This Item
Boston, MA.: Little, Brown, and Company. Very Good. 1929. First Edition. Hardback in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in black cloth with pink stamping on the upper cover and spine, in a very nice dust jacket with light edge-wear. The covers show light edge-wear, and some faint mottling to the cloth near the edges. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean. --- From the American First Editions collection of Donald C. Scriven (1948-2019). Don relished points of issue and the primacy of the dust jacket but above all he loved the literature! .
Synopsis
Rome Haul (1929) is the first novel by American author Walter D. Edmonds. The novel tells the love story of two workers on New York State's Erie Canal. In 1934, the book was adapted to the play, The Farmer Takes a Wife by Frank B. Elser and Marc Connelly, and, in 1935, the play was adapted to a feature film of the same name directed by Victor Fleming and starring Henry Fonda (in his first film), and Janet Gaynor.
