About This Item
(Thorp Springs Press, Austin, TX. 1984). Octavo. 136 pages. Signed by the author on the half title page. As Paul Foreman writes: this work is worthy of the others such as Masked Gods, Man Who Killed the Deer and Book of the Hopi. It is a novel of a search for gold: both the yellow gold you can hold in your hand, the golden elixir of a woman's love and when in the most threatening part of the desert--water. Wellman writes: "If Melville is the great American prophet of the sea, and the men who go down to the sea in ships, then Frank Waters must be accorded the role of the priest of the land, who has listened closest and recorded most faithfully the spirits of the land especially the Southwest." Bound in red cloth lettered and decoratively stamped in gilt, spine lettering gilt, near fine in near fine pictorial dust jacket.
