First edition. Fine in a lovely dustwrapper that is just about fine except for a crease on the spine and some tiny edge tears. Scarce first book, a novel about life on the Erie Canal, by the author of *Drums Along the Mohawk*. This novel was the basis for Henry Fonda s first film, *The Farmer Takes a Wife*, directed by Victor Fleming and also featuring Janet Gaynor. Fonda had played the lead on Broadway but was only offered the film role after both Gary Cooper and Joel McCrea passed on it because of other commitments. It was later remade by Henry Levin into a musical with Betty Grable, Dale Robertson, and Thelma Ritter.
