About this Item
Armed Serviced Edition. Oblong 48mo. approximate measurements are 5 1/2" x 3 3/4". 512pp. Pictorial wrappers. Pages age-toned, wrappers rubbed, spine wrinkled, a very good copy. Issued as Armed Services Edition "N-32". Originally published by Duell, Sloan & Pearce. "The Big Rock Candy Mountain" was, in the lexicon of the American Hobo, easy living off the fat of the land; the phrase makes its appearance repeatedly in hobo ballads and poems. Stegner's well-regarded novel deals with Bo Mason and his restless and footloose search for the easy life during lean times in the hard-scrabble west. Condensed for wartime reading.
