"DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK" by Walter D. Edmonds is a historical novel that was first published in 1936 by Little Brown & Company. It is a 1st edition, 6th printing, still published in 1936, hardcover, and is written in English. The cover & spine are still bright blue, so it looks great on the bookshelf! There is some separation inside the front & back title page, but the pages are still firmly intact. Please see all pictures. There's a tiny spot of foxing on the bottom. There's also, a little tear on the bottom of 2 of the pages. Inside smells like an old book, but I'm not getting a musty smell. This classic piece of literature is a valuable collectible for history enthusiasts and book collectors alike. Please be sure to check out my other vintage auctions. I will combine shipping. This will be packaged very well. Thanks for looking & God Bless!!
When newlyweds Gilbert and Lana Martin settle in the Mohawk Valley in 1776, they work tirelessly against the elements to build a new life. But even as they clear land and till soil to establish their farm, the shots of the Revolutionary War become a rallying cry for both the loyalists and the patriots. Soon, Gil and Lana see their neighbors choose sides against each other--as British and Iroquois forces storm the valley, targeting anyone who supports the revolution.
Originally published in 1936, this classic novel was a bestseller for two years--second only to Gone with the Wind--and was adapted into a motion picture in 1939. Now, some three-quarters of a century later, Drums Along the Mohawk stands as a brilliant account of the majesty of the New York frontier, the timeless rhythms that shape a marriage, and the battles of a revolution that would change the world.
