Complete and unabridged, with 52 full-page plates by Robert Seldon Duncanson, Jasper Francis Cropsey and George Inness. A stranger with a sorrow arrives in the Ozarks and settles among people who ask no questions. Wright was a preacher who left the pulpit; his novels sold in the millions and this one turned the Missouri hills into a place people traveled to see. This edition includes a gallery of 52 plates of American landscape painting, among them works by Asher Brown Durand, Winslow Homer and Albert Bierstadt, and eight restored and coloured illustrations.
