Very near fine in decorated dark blue cloth covered boards with faded gilt text on the spine and a gilt eagle on the front board and with map end sheets. A small octavo of 7 1/2 by 5 1/4 inches with light rubbing to the cloth at the head and heel of the spine and rubbing to the cloth over the tips of the boards. Married with a third printing, unclipped dust jacket in very good- with the colors on the spine area somewhat faded and shallow chipping to the upper edge of the spine area and light rubbing to the lower edge of the same and with small chips and insect damage to the rear panel. Inscribed to a Dr. Henry Pleasants, Jr. on the title page with a long sentence and signed by Kenneth Roberts and dated "the 17th of June, 1934". An exceptionally scarce title to come by in first edition in a collectible dust jacket as only 5,000 copies were produced in the first printing. The dust jacket art is by N. C. Wyeth. Rabble In Arms is the sequel of Roberts' Arundel which picks up after Arnold's attack on Quebec and follows the sequence of events as the ragged army retreats down the St. Lawrence River to Lake Champlain. Roberts' was one of the first novelists to give credible exposure to the Battle of Valcor Island which, although a loss for the Americans, slowed the British advance down Lake Champlain to connect with the Hudson enough so that they had to return to Canada for the winter of 1776. This ultimately lead to the victory at Saratoga the following year. A handsome, clean copy of one of Roberts' most significant historical fiction novels. 870 pages of text.…
