Black cloth boards with a pictorial stamped in blind, gilt, and burgundy on the front cover. Shelf-side of boards are rubbed. Interior is clean and unmarked. Illustrated by Constance Garland (dust jacket, endpapers, frontispiece, five full-page illustrations, and vignettes at the head and close of each chapter). 426 pages. Dust jacket shows a small bit of chipping at foot of spine and fore-corners; not price clipped ($2.50); in an archival mylar sleeve. The third volume in the Middle Border series. In this book, Garland tells the story of a pioneering family of the generation preceding his own, a story of hardship, clean living, and a tremendous expenditure of physical energy in the task of conquering the frontier. The main character, Richard Graham, comes from the east as a young man, by way of the Great Lakes, and the story follows him through his experiences, including the logging camps of Wisconsin and working as a pilot on the Wisconsin River, through his courtship and marriage, and his service in the Union Army during the Civil War.
