New York: Dutton, 1952. Very Good+ in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full russet-brown cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt. 95pps.

Though the author was known to be terribly gracious and his pen was about as free as his spirit, this copy is, uncommonly, unsigned . ".Kentucky Is My Land is Jesse Stuart's fervent… Read More
