First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. N. C. Wyeth (illustrator). 1st Edition. I listed this book (x-lib) for some ardent Wyeth fan; as, it contains, all eight of those unusual b&w plates from Wyeth's 1921 work. The book is the First volume of a trilogy by Quick about pioneering life in Iowa. Poor binding; falling apart with a piece cut from the spine.
