A propos de cet article

The Macmillan Company, New York. 1900. Hardcover. First Edition / 2nd Printing or 3rd Printing (CR page states-Set up and electrotyped June 1900. Reprinted July, twice, 1900). Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Good +; light wear to fabric at head, tail, and tips; single moisture spot on front and rear boards; light soiling to boards and spine. No DJ.

Clean internals. Inner hinges are sound and not split. 385 pp + 6 pp of ads 12mo. This book is NOT about turn of the century drug culture. The protagonist of this story is a young man attending a religious college, questioning the values and morals that he was raised with, and learning about love and life in the process. The author, who wrote other novels with Kentucky settings, chose to use the cycle of hemp crops to parallel human growth - neither the first nor last author to use such an analogy. At the time, hemp was an important source of fiber and the plant was grown commercially for that use, and Kentucky was the largest producing state. Hemp was an agricultural product like cotton or corn. The book aroused some readers' ire due to its controversial topic - the questioning of religious doctrine by a young college student. The story now is somewhat dated; that is in fact part of its charm. We gain a glimpse of the beliefs and mores of Americans at the beginning of the twentieth century, and the changes that would soon contribute to the first World War. The first chapter does discuss the history of hemp agriculture in the United States and Kentucky, but that is not the thrust of the book in any way. A clean very presentable copy.…
