About this Item

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 renown, 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.
