British first edition. Blue cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine. A number of small stains on front board. Minor rubbing and toning on top- and bottom-edge of both boards. Pictorial unclipped dust jacket in mylar. Significant foxing to back and interior of jacket. Slight creasing and foxing on head and tail of spine. Binding is starting to become somewhat loose. Text block has some minor foxing and uneven trim on fore-edge. Map design on front and back end papers. Signature dated 1941 on front end paper, does not appear to be the author's. Stewart's first novel applies the rigorous historical research from his early biographies and applies it to a fictional tale of three people during the California Gold Rush and other events from the state's history. George Rippey Stewart, a longtime English Professor at UC Berkeley, published 28 books of fiction and nonfiction between 1930 and his death in 1980. He was known for his multi-disciplinary approach, combining insights from geography, history, anthropology, and ecology with masterful storytelling. Despite penning multiple best-sellers, Stewart has remained relatively obscure, though his influence is still felt across various genres.
