Ross Lockridge 1st Ed 1948 Raintree County A Day in the Life Hardcover w/DJ

Description: Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, Cambridge, MA. 1948. 1066 pgs. Maps. First Edition/First Printing. Unclipped John Mowis DJ has light shelf-wear, rubbing present to the DJ especially around the extremities (DJ has light shelfwear present to the edges of the DJ). Bound in green cloth with titles present to the spine and gilt tree present to the front board. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid. Throughout a single day in 1892, John Shawnessy recalls the great moments of his life—from the love affairs of his youth in Indiana, to the battles of the Civil War, to the politics of the Gilded Age, to his homecoming as schoolteacher, husband, and father. Shawnessy is the epitome of the place and period in which he lives, a rural land of springlike women, shady gamblers, wandering vagabonds, and soapbox orators. Yet here on the banks of the Shawmucky River, which weaves its primitive course through Raintree County, Indiana, he also feels and obeys ancient rhythms. A number-one bestseller when it was first published in 1948, this powerful novel is a compelling vision of 19th-century America with timeless resonance today.
