What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first printing of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original price-clipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated throughout by American artist John de Martelly (1903–1979).
William E. Wilson (1906–1988) was an American author, as well as a professor of fiction writing and literature at Indiana University.
This historical work, which he is best remembered for, is from his 'Rivers of America' series. Against the background of the Wabash River and Valley, Wilson recounts the stories of LaSalle, George Rogers Clark, George Rapp, Robert Owen, and many more who made their mark on Indiana, the author's birthplace.
