SCOTT, Lalla
Karnee: A Paiute Narrative
Reno, University of Nevada Press, (1966). Scott relates the story of Annie Lowry, a Paiute/Caucasian woman who lived in Nevada from the 1860s to the 1940s. Lowry first spoke to Scott in 1936 when Scott was doing research for the Pershing County Writers' Project, part of the WPA. This copy is inscribed by Scott to "the Four Roses" in 1969. Laid in is a promotional postcard reproducing a photo of Scott and Lowry together, and this too is signed by Scott. A fine copy in a rubbed, very good dust jacket. Uncommon signed.
