Big Two-Hearted River in Field & Stream Magazine

Hemingway, Ernest

Published by Henry Holt & Company, Inc., NY, 1954

Entire issue, May, 1954, in original pictorial Bob Kuhn wraps, very clean and bright, with spine tail nicked, and mailing label with white-out covering the name / address. A reprinting of the classic story of psychologically fragile Nick Adams, and his fishing / camping adventure, that appeared originally in the 1925 Boni & Liveright edition of In Our Time. Includes color illustrations by Kuhn. From the opening paragraph, "The train went on up the track out of sight, around one of the hills of burnt timber. Nick sat down on the bundle of canvas and bedding the baggage man had pitched out of the door of the baggage car. There was no town, nothing but the rails and the burned-over country. The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was clipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground." See Hanneman C383. Very scarce. Seller Inventory # 024252
