About This Item
Ex-library book in fair condition. Book with usual card holder, stamps, stickers, markings and writing. DJ has very little bumping, rubbing on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer page edges with tanning, browning, stains and foxing. Some pages inside do have stain from being read over the years but the reading material has not been interfered. The house shown on the cover is calledd San Francisco and is on the River Road just north of New Orleans. "In 'Steamboat Gothic' Mrs. Keyes tells not only the story of the great Louisiana plantations, but of the river which contributed so largely to their prosperity, their prestige and their splendor. Plantations and the river, and the loves and lives of the men and women who peopled them come alive in a superb novel which is all the more truly a great contribution to Americana because it is a great love story." 1952. U5.
