About This Item
Hodder and Stoughton, 1939. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. The dust jacket is rather shelf rubbed and edge worn, with multiple small closed tears, chips and creases along the edges. Despite this, the jacket remains bright and whole. The boards are rubbed but sturdy. Internally, there is a gift inscription on the front end page, and the end pages are tanned, but there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are neat, crisp and complete. Tightly bound and presents handsomely in cellophane. JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
Reviews
On Nov 3 2020, a reader said:
The story of the building of the transcontinental telegraph is given unique treatment by Zane Grey as indicated by the dedication: "To a single strand of iron wire". This is the last novel to be published during Zane Grey's lifetime, and had been dictated to a secretary, as he had suffered a stroke two years previous which prohibited him from using a pencil to write. It is also written in first person, but that does not diminish the power of his prose or descriptive capabilities. Also, this book shows the detailed preparation and research which must have been done; there's so much historical details present. This is a fine novel, one which fittingly belongs among the best written by Zane Grey.
