Description:
The Way West is a 1949 western novel by A. B. Guthrie, Jr. (descendant of a family that traveled west).[1] The novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1950. The book became the basis for a film starring Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, and Richard Windmark.The Way West is an account of a wagon-train journey from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon in 1845. On a superficial level, it is a realistic story of a group of pioneers who complete their arduous venture without major disaster. Although one family turns back, a man and a boy die, and a dissident group swings south to California, the pioneers reach their Oregon destination, ready to begin a new life.William Sloane Associates Publishers, New York,1949. First Edition, Stated First Printing. Book in Mint condition with Near Mint Dj. Dj is not clipped, is clean and bright, no fading on spine, very slight shelf wear, barely visible. A rare find in this condition.
