Présentation de l'éditeur :
First 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." This Bison Books edition includes a new introduction by Linda M. Hasselstrom. Mari Sandoz (1896-1966) is the noted author of "Crazy Horse", "Cheyenne Autumn", and "The Battle of the Little Bighorn", all available in Bison Books editions. Linda M. Hasselstrom, teacher and editor, is the author of eleven books of nonfiction and poetry about the northern plains, including "Between Grass and Sky" and "Feels Like Far: A Rancher's Life on the Great Plains".
Revue de presse :
"A realistic biography, a rare find. On putting down this book one feels that one has read the history of all pioneering."--New York Times Book Review "An amazing portrait. Mari Sandoz has written the truth. And she has given it to us as if she had cut it, like a sod, from the live ground."--New York Herald Tribune Books "It is a magnificent job. The great virtue of Miss Sandoz's book is that you can see it happening. There is a good deal of America in Old Jules. It is, heaven knows, an enthralling story. But it is more than that, and much deeper. It is an experience in citizenship." --Saturday Review of Literature

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : None. 50th Anniversary Edition. Volume has gray covers with silver lettering on the spine. Book itself is protected in an archival quality cover. Clean, fresh, tight and bright. 430 pages. Includes an Afterword by Helen Winter Stauffer. This book is an American classic. Old Jules has sustained its power to interest readers because of the author's ability to depict an important historical period and also because of her recreation of the repellent yet fascinating character of her father. This father was often a human devil to his family. Yet the book is more than a biography of her father. The author wanted to incorporate the land itself, the specific environment of the northwestern Nebraska sandhill region and environs and make it a biography of a community. The staying power of the volume is the evidence of her success. A nice copy of the 50th anniversary edition. N° de réf. du vendeur 002118
