About This Item
Minor fraying on head and heel of spine of volume, some small tears in dust jacket (see photographs). Deckled pages; a little age-soiling of page tops. Name of owner in pencil, copy of poem "Love's Lantern" pasted inside front pastedown. Some age-darkening of pastedowns.
The 44th Large Printing of Streeter Aldrich's much-reprinted 1928 classic story of a pioneer woman and her courageous and optimistic struggle to build a home and a life in the wilderness of mid-19-century Nebraska.
Still widely read today, this a classic tale of American optimism, courage and success in building a new life.
