New York, New York, U.S.A.: DOUBLEDAY, 1973. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). First Edition/First Print. A square solid tight clean unread unused copy. This copy has a nudge to the heel and top of the spine. The jacket is publisher PC with a Doubleday 6.95 priced sticker tipped to the front flap which I am guessing makes this a second state jacket. The jacket has what appears to be yellow residue also to the front flap from a piece of transparent tape that someone used to cover the above mentioned price tag, some very light edge wear, fading to the spine area. This is truly a beautiful copy that is looking for a home in a Kelton collection somewhere. This copy has been signed by Elmer on the ffep. THIS COPY IS IN MY POSSESSION AND NORMALLY SHIPS NEXT DAY..

Reviews

On Apr 9 2020, a reader said:

Drought, prolonged drought, has always been a problem out West. Never has a rancher had enough water for his animals or his crops. And Charlie Flagg, a determined, old, maybe even angry man, fought to the bitter end. A real good presentation of that. Elmer Kelton was so good at portraying the average individual all of us have met."
