New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1923. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Photoplay edition. Pencil name and a trifle soiled, still easily near fine in an attractive, near fine dustwrapper with a very short tear. Both the book and the jacket are illustrated with still pictures from the 1923 James Cruze film, considered the screen's first epic western, and a surprisingly realistic depiction of an important phase of America's history. The novel is a *Johnson Highspot of American Literature*. An attractive copy. (Inventory #: 87863)
