Description: OLD JULESBy Mari SandozLittle, Brown, and Company, Boston, MA, First Edition, Fifth Printing, December 1935Hardcover, near very good condition, light shelf/reading wear, gift inscription, lacking dust jacketFirst published in 1935, Old Jules is unquestionably Mari Sandoz’s masterpiece. This portrait of her pioneer father grew out of “the silent hours of listening behind the stove or the wood box, when it was assumed, of course, that I was asleep in bed. So it was that I heard the accounts of the hunts,” Sandoz recalls. "Of the fights with the cattlemen and the sheepmen, of the tragic scarcity of women, when a man had to ‘marry anything that got off the train,’ of the droughts, the storms, the wind and isolation. But the most impressive stories were those told me by Old Jules himself.” With illustrationsUSPS Media Rate postage will be calculated @ 2 pounds weightGRADUATE OF BOOK SEMINARS INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM HOW IT WORKS WITH US:In other words; the fine print!For those buyers who reside outside the U.S.,We are now enrolled in eBay's Global Shipping ProgramWe like to have our auctions completed in a timely manner.If we have not HEARD FROM the high bidder by the FOURTH day after the close of the auction, we will file an UNPAID ITEM DISPUTE with Ebay.PLEASE: Bid Only If You Intend To Complete The Transaction.THANKS for your understanding in these matters.We are proud to let you know that we try to be ecologically responsible, nearly all of our packing materials are recycled or reused.
