Book Description
Cleveland and New York : The World Publishing Company , 1961. Tight/Bright and very clean copy, dark blue cloth bindings, gilt spinal titles, clean text, lightly bumped rear cornertips, unmarked text, the clear Brodart covered dust jacket has light edgewear with a few closed edgetears and light panel edge reading creases. An interesting and descriptive window to the past... It is a hundred stories in one: The story of emigrant and immigrant, outlaw's, a little girl's stale, a tale of Native Americans pushed to their limits, a young surgeon's story, hog-breeder, poetess, religious exhorter - of an Indian woman who harvested her crops in the midst of simmering violence, and settler's intent on taking the land's bounty as thier God given right and destiny! In this mighty book the American Indian shares their few choices of survival and fate to make the reader conversant at last with their rich Heritage and Traditions!. Spirit Lake is as much the saga of those who resisted, as it is of those who came to take the land. The never ending stream of Settlers, who in the 1850's, settled the wide Iowa country and a bold account of the Spirit Lake Massacre of 1857, only a year after Settlers first arrived, making everything their own! Author MacKinlay Kantor is the Pulitzer Prize Winning Writer of Andersonville, the famous Civil War Novel! 957 pages. . Stated First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
