Sobre este item
NY: Harper & Brothers; (1918). First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. First printing (publisher's code "A-S"), variant binding, in a smaller format than the more common first edition in dark green cloth. Bound in flexible leatherette maroon boards. Very good, the glassine wrapper is not present. The book has a little wear at the edges of the maroon cloth, mainly along edges of spine and at spine ends. The first three letters of the publisher's name at the bottom of the spine are worn away, and there is slight loss to the title lettering near the top of the spine. The front hinge is just slightly separated after the half title page, but still tight. Endpapers are somewhat browned, although interior pages are still bright. This binding was issued at the same time as the much more common green cloth binding, but most of these were shipped overseas to servicemen.

What can one say about the greatest undertaking ever devised by man--the construction of the transcontinental railroad in the 1860's--and its exposition in story form by the greatest writer of the American West, Zane Grey. Historically accurate from beginning to end, descriptively unmatched by any other writer, and filled with characters enough to fill a mini-series. Of course, there is love found and love lost and then found again; it wouldn't be Zane Grey without that! But beyond the romance, the reader will find the heroism, the strength, the men and women with the kind of fortitude and vision that it took to make this country what it is today. And yes, there is a tragic side to the book. The passing of a life-style; the passing of a people--the Indian; for the progress of the railroad with its technology and its ability to bring huge numbers of people into the country meant the destruction of the Indian. I would recommend this book whole-heartedly for anyone--historian, or pleasure reader. Also available in hardback is the unexpurgated version, Union Pacific, by Five Star Western which came out in 2009 telling the story the way Zane Grey "really" wrote it.
