Item description from seller

TEXAS, THE GOLDEN LAND, Virginia May Moffitt, illustrated with drawings by Robert Candy, hardcover, 1st edition, 1950. BOOK CONDITION: very good. The text block is in fine condition, with no tears, dogears, or marks. Tipped in note from publisher. No bookplate nor signature of a prior owner. Not a library book or remainder. The orange boards are in good condition (bumped spine, some slightly discolored areas). 8 ¾ x 5 ¾, 222 pages, 19 ounces XX [From the publisher’s note] BANKS UPSHAW AND COMPANY offers TEXAS, THE GOLDEN LAND, by Virginia May Moffitt, to the Texas State Textbook Committee for adoption as a supplementary reader for the third grade. This book was prepared in answer to requests from many Texas teachers, principals, and supervisors who saw the need for giving children an intimate acquaintance with animals and birds of Texas. Naturally, Virginia May Moffitt was chosen to do the writing. She is the author of many books for children, including BROAD SKIES OF FREEDOM (now in adoption in Texas), THE JAYHAWKER, and GREAT HORSE (a Junior Literary Guild selection). To increase interest in the birds and animals, children's experiences with them are related. The characteristics and peculiarities of each bird and animal are vividly told. The teaching aids are challenging and thought provoking. Etchings, half-tones, and color plates are used to illustrate the book. The drawings for the etchings were made by Bob Candy who draws for popular national magazines. They are works of art. The color plates are beautiful enough for framing. Children will be delighted with the pictures. The book is beautifully and substantially bound. TEXAS, THE GOLDEN LAND was written for the third-grade children of Texas by a Texas writer and published by a Texas publisher. It should be the most popular reader ever offered for third-grade children.
