Snow Covered Wagons: a pioneer epic; the Donner Party expedition 1846 - 1847 by Altrocchi, Julia Cooley - 1936

New York: The Macmillan Company, 1936. Hardcover. xxiii, 203p., endpaper maps, preface, Dramatis Personae, rosters of life, death & relief. Hardbound first edition in pebbled grey boards and dust jacket. Casing is mildly edgeworn, there is substantial toning to endpapers and an ownership name on front pastedown, otherwise unmarked, while dj is very edgeworn, chipped, price-clipped. All in all, a good (good-only) copy. An epic blank-verse poem on the ill-fated Donner Party; Julia Cooley's talent was noticed and published during girlhood. Her work here is skilled, but rather novelistic.
