E-151: Grosset & Dunlap. Very Good in Good+ dust jacket. 1924. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Grosset & Dunlap, NY. 1924. 399 pgs First Photoplay Edition, llustrated with stills from the D. W. Griffith film *America* featuring Neil Hamilton, Carol Dempster and Lionel Barrymore. Paul Revere DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (DJ has chipping and wear present to the extremities; large chip present to the front panel and chip present to the heel and crown of the spine) Bound in cloth boards with black titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Historical fiction and romance of the desperate sacrifices which our ancestors made to establish our freedom from the perspective of a scout in the Continental Army and a Tory maid who loved him. Scenes from the costly film, Griffith's last great silent epic, were shown to virtually every school-age child in America's major cities for several decades. The romantic plot of the film actually had little to do with Chambers' original novel but the author, a good friend of the director's who also provided the film's titles, wrote this entirely different novel for the photoplay edition. E-151; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
