NY, Samuel French, 1927. The first book by this playwright of part-Cherokee descent who was born in the Indian Territory, now Oklahoma. Riggs is probably most famous for having written Green Grow the Lilacs, which was adapted into the musical Oklahoma! This play is also set in the Indian Territory, in 1906. Inscribed by the author to screenwriter Manuel Seff in 1928, a nice literary association: Seff wrote the screenplays for "Love on the Run," "Trouble for Two" and other movies in the mid-1930s. Foxing near the front joint; near fine, lacking the dust jacket.   [#025712] $250

All books are first printings of first editions or first American editions unless otherwise noted.
