New York, NY : The Macmillan Company, 1905 The Macmillan Company, New York. 1905. Hardcover. 4th Printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for a gift inscription on the FFFP. Book Condition: Good +; light shelfwear to head, tail, tips, spine shoulders, and board bottoms. No DJ. Maroon cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on spine and front board. Gilt textblock top. Clean internals. Internal hinges are sound and not split. 598 pp 8vo. This book is written by the American Winston Churchill not the British Prime Minister- it was the best selling novel in America in 1904.This book was named The Crossing because Churchill tried to express in it the beginnings of that great movement across the mountains which swept resistless over the Continent until at last it saw the Pacific itself. The Crossing was the first instinctive reaching out of an infant nation which was one day to become a giant. No annals in the world's history are more wonderful than the story of the conquest and settlement of Kentucky and Tennessee by the pioneers. It was the last of Churchill's sweeping historical novels. A clean very presentable copy.
