Sobre este artículo
New York: McClure, 1907. First Edition. Octavo. . Half-title, color frontispiece and 6 other color illustrations by N.C. Wyeth, 351 pages. One of the finest novels of Arizona. The author's description of the Arizona desert is striking. " Mile after mile it swept away before him, hot, dry, suffocating, lifeless.... Here and there rock ridges showed with the obscenity of so many skeletons, exposing to the hard, cruel sky the earth's nakedness. Thirst, delirium, death, hovered palpable in the wind; dreadful, unconquerable, ghastly." It is no wonder that Teddy Roosevelt loved his writing (TR also noted that Stewart Edward White was the best man with handling a gun he had ever seen). A very good copy bound in green cloth, color pictorial paste-down to upper board, spine lettering gilt, one lightly bumped corner, spine rubbed with gilt lettering to foot mostly rubbed off, no previous owner's names or bookplates.
Sinopsis
The ring around the sun had thickened all day long, and the turquoise blue of the Arizona sky had filmed. Storms in the dry countries are infrequent, but heavy; and this surely meant storm.
