First printing. A weaving together of fiction and nonfiction, history and impressions, childhood remembrance and adult reflections in this portrait of his boyhood in the Cypress Hills of southern Saskatchewan, near the Montana border, where Stegner's family homesteaded from 1914 to 1920. Map endpapers. 306 pp. Good only in good- dust jacket (slight spine slant, edgewear to dj, price-clipped, but despite the flaws, this is a rather uncommon first edition of one of Stegner's most appealing books.) .
