Quarto, 344 pages, green clothback, pictorial boards, lower right corner bumped, front free endpaper re-attached. Copyright page code is "B-X", which translates as February, 1923. "The title of this volume was not chosen idly - it was chosen because these Howard Pyle pictures do breathe an 'American Spirit'. Beyond technical excellence which has caused artists to treasure proofs of these pictures, beyond the unquestioned accuracy of costume and setting, is the spiritual, personal something that makes pictures live. Pyle furnishes a window into our American past as given by no word historian: wholesome, homely, full of interest." - Foreword by Merle Johnson. Hundreds of illustrations, nearly every page, many in color.
