First edition, with all points including the Duane street address given on the four page ads and red lettering on the binding. With 4 illustrations by J. Watson Davis. 8vo, publisher’s original blue-gray cloth lettered and beautifully decorated in red and black with pictorial designs on the spine and upper cover, in a pictorially illustrated dustjacket from the Burt reprint edition circa 1914. 266, ads. A bright, clean and beautifully preserved copy of the book, the later dustjacket with light edgewear and a bit of mellowing but still in a very pleasing state of preservation.

Edizione: the story deals with the attempt by moravian church missionaries to christianize indians and how two brothers’ lives take different paths upon their arrival on the border. intermingled with the main theme of the work of the moravian missionaries is a tender love story. a highly romanticized account, the novel follows betty zane, which was grey’s first published work.
