Description:
London: William Blackwood & Sons, 1926. First Edition. Hardcover. Collectible Good. 1st printing. Gilt-stamped blue cloth. 324pp. Frontispiece & two illus. This appears to be quite a descriptive read of life in Kansas for a brief period. "This is the autobiography of a little girl who went to live, amid almost complete isolation, on the Kansas prairie before it was settled up. It was the time, too, when the States were being torn by Secession and Civil War..." There is a chapter on Quantrill's raid on Lawrence, and material on cattle ranching. Orpen was born in Virginia, moved to Kansas with her family, and then to Ireland. A good+ copy. Couple of small spots on cover and a little dull, but certainly a decent copy unless the buyer wants a near perfect one. No dj. Uncommon.
