WRIGHT, Anna May
In the Shadow of Black Rock
NY, Vantage, (1956). A vanity press account of a woman born in 1885, the 7th of 10 children, who lived nearly eight decades in Oregon, Washington in Idaho, with a series of 4 husbands. Nearly 300 pages of hardship, beginning at the time of the Indian wars in the late 19th century up to the 1960s. Signed by the author. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with modest rubbing and some minor discoloration to the rear panel. Vanity press books are in general very scarce, as the publishers are paid for printing them and usually do not spend money marketing them; they are, in effect, privately printed by their authors. An uncommon first person account.
