About This Item
NY: Knopf, 1948. First edition. Hardcover. Very good. Wallace Stegner's copy, with his ownership signature on the flyleaf. This is Cather's final three long stories, published the year after she died. Stegner and Cather traded letters and he wrote about Cather in his collection The Sound of Mountain Water. A very good book in orange cloth cloth with sunning to spine and top edge of front board, a bump to rear upper corner, and some scuffing/streaks on rear board. A great association between American writers known for their portrayal's of frontier landscapes.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
