About This Item
New York, NY Touchstone, 1982. Paperback First Edition Thus (1982), Second Printing. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY AUTHOR. First Edition Thus (1982), Second Printing. Very Good in Wraps: shows indications of careful use: light wear to extremities; the faintest sunning to the yellow-toned background field around the outside edges of the panels and the backstrip (the titles to both the backstrip and panels remain bold and clearly legible); a crease near the lower front corner; a bit of faint creasing near the rear hinge; the binding shows the slightest lean, while remaining perfectly secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the backstrip. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A carefully-used copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing moderate wear and a few cosmetic imperfections. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (9.2 x 6 x 0.9 inches). 319 pages. Appendix. Bibliography. Index. 32 pages of vintage duotone photographic plates. Introduction by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Language: English. Weight: 17.6 ounces. Trade Paperback. I read somewhere that a statistically large number of prominent Americans were born in 19th century Kansas. That was perhaps a result of the hard, but ultimately rewarding pioneer life that is described in these pages. Kansas and the West a century ago were in the vanguard of social innovation and progressive politics in the U.S. Joanna Stratton re-discovered the oral histories of 800 Kansas pioneer women collected by her great-grandmother in the 1920s. She has taken this mountain of material and organized it into 15 themes in 15 chapters, giving background on each theme and quoting the pioneer women. INSCRIBED AND SIGNED BY AUTHOR.
