Memorial Edition with Preface and Additions (as stated upon title page). SINCLAIR FAMILY ASSOCIATION COPY INSCRIBED BY SALLY AND HUNTER S. KIMBROUGH (BROTHER OF AUTHOR MARY CRAIG SINCLAIR) TO A NIECE AND HER HUSBAND. [6], 407, [408-422] pages. Hardcover: H 22.25cm x L 14.5cm. Dust jacket rubbed, several short tears with some nicks and creasing at edges, small chip at front panel's top right, slight sunning to spine, very faint staining at lower spine and adjacent panel corners, light foxing evident to white area of lower front panel and to white front and rear flaps; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector. Blue cloth; several spots of brown discoloration to rear board and slightly faded spine. Light toning to top edge; light foxing/toning to endpapers. Front free endpaper features two distinct inscriptions within five lines: "To Cunliffe + Sara Bailey McBee | from Sally + Hunter S. Kimbrough | In one way or another we're all | mixed up in it, one way or another! | HSK." The first two lines reflect a different handwriting style than the bottom three so it seems likely that the former was written Sally Kimbrough with the latter (per his concluding initials) by husband Hunter S. Kimbrough (1900-1994). The inscribees are Richard Cunliffe McBee, Jr. (1911-1984) and Sara Bailey Kimbrough McBee (1912-2006) who was a daughter of Lucile Bridgeforth Hardy Kimbrough (1888-1985) and Orman Lanier Kimbrough (1884-1949). Orman was the immediate sibling of Mary Craig Kimbrough Sinclair, Upton Sinclair's second wife and, of course, the author of the autobiographical SOUTHERN BELLE. Raised in Biloxi and Greenwood, Mississippi, Mary Craig, Orman, and Hunter were, respectively, the first, second, and seventh children among a brood of ten and brothers are mentioned in their sister's memoir. Thus co-inscribee Sara Bailey Kimbrough McBee is both a niece to author Mary Craig (her aunt) and to the second inscriber Hunter (her uncle) whose message alludes to the family members' ties to the Mary Craig autobiography. Interior pages are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. Still a very good copy in a good+ dust jacket. Includes a brief "In Memoriam" essay and Foreword both by Upton Sinclair, b/w plates on unpaged leaves, and a concluding section of Mary Craig's sonnets [pages 409-419] followed by an Index. This posthumous Memorial Edition was the second edition of Mary Craig's book with the first being issued in 1957.
