About This Item

Fine First Edition, First Printing in clean unclipped original dust jacket. Clean paple gray paper-covered boards with gray cloth spine, black lettering on spine. No fraying or wear. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound, pages and edges are clean and bright. Clean endpapers - no names, writing or marks. Clean map-illustrated endpapers. 324 pages. Clean dust jacket is unchipped, no wear, no tears, not price clipped; enclosed in new archival quality removable mylar cover. What life and history has really been like in Montana and the Dakotas - part of America's great west and now "fly-over country." With razor-sharp acuity and wit Raban makes clear that our notion of the West as a realm of settled communities peopled by farmers and small-town merchants has always been more imaginary than real. His portrait of this least known region of the U.S. strip away the myth--while preserving the romance--that ha shrouded our understanding of it. A moving journey into to forlorn soul of our heartland..
