Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Charlie May Simon's "Straw in the Sun". Published by E.P. Dutton & Company,1945. hardcover. 1st edition.INSCRIBED by the Author. Simon recounts her homesteading experiment in Depression-era Arkansas. Years before she established herself as a regional author of national ren…own, she chose a spot near Cove Creek, now part of Ouachita National Forest, to forge a home from rugged land, meeting both a backbreaking series of challenges and a vivid cast of characters in the process. Nationally popular upon its release in 1945, Simon s lyrical memoir was praised from the outset for its warmth and charm. At once an ethnographic narrative of a hill community and an accessible portrait of Ozarks memories at their most idyllic. "some cloth wear, corner stubs,end pages browning, minor marks and spots, clean and tight" BX20. Inscribed by Author.
