About This Item
First edition hardcover with dust jacket. Published by Houghton Mifflin, 1991. The in-depth history of Chase county, Kansas. Filled with unexpected stories of the people who have lived there, the Native American lore of the area, and the essence of the tallgrass country of this central Kansas county. The dust jacket is intact and is not price clipped. No marks or tears to the dust jacket. This is not a remainder copy, not a library discard. No writing, no highlighting, no former ownership marks. The text is clean, the binding is tight and square. The dust jacket has been protected with a removable Brodart library quality clear cover. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory, not a stock photo.
Synopsis
Three months on the New York Times bestseller list, PrairyErth is now in paperback. Robert Penn Warren pronounced Heat-Moon's Blue Highways "a masterpiece." Now Heat-Moon has pulled to the side of the road and set off on foot to take readers on an exploration of time and space, landscape and history in the Flint Hills of central Kansas.
