About This Item
New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc., 1943. First Edition. Hardcover. Small white paint stain on the front cover, the gilt on the cover and spine a little faded but clear. The dustwrapper is bright and attractive, free from any major defect and with only a few small chips. Very Good in a Very Good dustwrapper. Autobiography and first book by one of our greatest songwriters, author of this country's unofficial national anthem, "This Land Is Your Land." Quite scarce in the first edition, especially in a dustwrapper, this title served as the basis for the Hal Ashby film starring David Carradine. This copy is INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the legendary author on the front endpaper with the last line of "Talking Union," a slogan that came to be identified with Guthrie: "To/Ray and Betty/Lusk/from me/to you/Woody Guthrie/5-19-'47/take it easy/but take it."
Synopsis
First published in 1943, this autobiography is also a superb portrait of America's Depression years, by the folk singer, activist, and man who saw it all. One of Guthrie's first published writings, it is an important artifact of musical and political history, and a precedent for Guthrie's long lost novel, House of Earth , to be published in 2013 and edited by Johnny Depp and Douglas Brinkley.
