What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The uncommon first edition, first printing of this work.
With the publisher's very scarce unclipped dust wrapper.
This historical novel is set before and during the Civil War at the Missouri-Kansas border, centring on the love story of one woman and the subsequent conflict of two men. The work was adapted into a 1940 western film of the same name, starring John Wayne, Claire Trevor and Walter Pidgeon.
Written by W. R. Burnett, best known for the crime novel Little Caesar, the film adaptation of which is considered the first of the classic American gangster movies.
