Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson (The Uncorrected Proof)

The uncommon 1970 Uncorrected Proof, in its tall yellow wrappers. Tight and VG to VG+, with very mild creasing along the top-edges and the spine ends. Possibly an editor's copy, with handwritten pagination and with all the lines fron the Dedication page and the final page of text (the list of notable events in George Jackson's life) neatly crossed out in magic marker. From the "Description" onm the front cover: "From 1964 to 1970, George Jackson wrote these letters to his mother, father, sisters, brother Jonathan (who was recently killed in the Marin County courthouse shhot-out), friend Angela Davis, and lawyer Fay Stender. Jackson and two other black prisoners have become known as the Soledad Brothers since they were charged with the murder of a white prison guard earlier this year. Their trial is scheduled to begin Sepyember 21st in sdan Francisco. Jackson faces a mandatory death sentence if convicted.".
