Seller's Description:
Felt's first (and by far the best) book; this about her husband's experiences as a logger in Washington during the 1930s and 1940s. This is Felt's self-published reprint of the original Caxton edition. It did quite well for her. It has since had a university reprint under the "Columbia Northwest Classics" series. This is an unused book from the warehouse of a former new-book distributor. Multiple copies available at time of entry.
