New York: Farrar & Rinehart, (1942). First Edition. Very near fine in red cloth covered boards with black text and decorations on the spine and front board. A 4to measuring 12 by 8 3/4 inches with light rubbing to the cloth at the heel of the spine. In a very good-, price clipped dust jacket with a two inch deep chip at the upper edge of the spine area, heavy rubbing and wear to the folds and several smaller chips to the upper and lower edges of the rear panel. Despite the damage to the jacket this is still a collectable copy. Although part of the Rivers of America series, this book is considerably larger than the format for the others in the series. It is also the most difficult to locate. 196 pages of text and song scores together with an index.
