About This Item
NY: Dodd, Mead, 1943. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very good. Inscribed by Teale's wife Nellie on the front free endpaper: "To Rick Joregensen, in memory of your special visit to Trail Wood, June 6, 1983, your Trail Wood friend, Nellie Teale." Later printing, 1957. This is Teale's memoir of his early days in Illinois. Presumably inscribed during a visit to Trail Wood, the Teale's farm/estate in Connecticut. Pasted to the front pastedown is a photo of Nellie Way Teale on a bridge, probably from this same visit at Trail Wood. A fine copy in yellow cloth; in a very good, price-clipped jacket with corner wear, a few short tears, and a rumple at top of rear panel. As of this writing, there are no copies of this book signed by Edwin Way Teale available, but this is an interesting association, inscribed by his wife three years after Edwin's death and with her photo, standing in their chosen place on earth.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
