About This Item
Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. An account of the often brutal interactions between white settlers and the Native Americans living in the Round Valley, in Northern Mendocino County, California. Since descendants of some of the worst offenders still live in the region, rumors of their attempts to supress the book abound. Its relative scarcity is due to a more prosaic chain of events. After an allegation of (unintentional) plagiarism was leveled against the section written by Estle Beard, the publisher investigated, agreed with the complaint, and withdrew the book from sale.
Since both authors have since passed away, it seems unlikely that this book will ever be republished or converted into an e-book. The original hardcover is the only way to read about this troubled era in Northern California's history.
403 pages. First and only edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket, but for a short tear to the front panel. An increasingly uncommon book.
