A reproduction of Stuart's first book, originally published in Oklahoma in 1930. With a lengthy inscription to Marie Bullock, founder of the Academy of American Poets: "To Marie Bullock, who has done so much for poetry and who is still doing it. Greetings and best wishes - Jesse Stuart, Dec. 19th 1964. P.S.this one, my first published book, was the beginning of a dream. This was published 35 years ago, four years before Man With a Bull-Tongue Plow -- these poems written in High School at the steel mills and in the army barracks and in college. This book seems far away and long ago for me to be signing it now."
