This Soft Cover Vintage book (298 pages) is in Great condition inside and out, other than being separated in the middle, as shown...both sides still connected to cover. 

This is one of a number of books I got from a serious collector.  They were all bagged and in near pristine condition.  I took them out of their plastic collector’s bags in order to provide great photographs of the awesome quality of these books.

 Extremely collectible in awesome vintage condition!

 

From Back Cover:

A blood-stirring novel of the conquest of the West, of the lawless days when frontiersmen fought savage indians and renegade whites for control of the rich, Ohio wilderness….

It’s the summer of 1790… and Col. Duncan Crosbie, a veteran of the American revolution, leads 300 French emigres in a wagon train from Alexandria, Virginia to their new home in the wilds of Ohio…a quest for freedom that becomes a harrowing struggle for their lives.

“The historical background is woven into the story with care, lending realism to the action. Spicer stirs his mixture vigorously in his first attempt at historical fiction. Tension mounts and the suspense races to the denouement.” The New York Times
