Description: 2nd printing. Lacks jacket. Boards lightly soiled. 1937 Hard Cover. 709, [1] pp. 8vo. Olive cloth, black spine panel with gilt titles and decorations, maps on endpapers. This classic novel follows the career of Major Rogers, whose incredible exploits during the French and Indian Wars are told through Langdon Towne, an artist and Harvard student who flees trouble to join the army. Maps on endpapers. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Kenneth Lewis Roberts (December 8, 1885 - July 21, 1957) was an American author of historical novels. After serving as an Army lieutenant during the American Siberian campaign in the Russian Civil War in 1919, Roberts worked first as a journalist, and then as a popular novelist. Born in Kennebunk, Maine, Roberts specialized in Regionalist historical fiction. He often wrote about his native state and its terrain, also depicting other upper New England states and scenes. For example, Langdon Towne, the chief character of Roberts's Northwest Passage, is depicted as being from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. At a key point in the novel, Towne and his companions, fighting for their lives, trudge through what is now the Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont. Key novels of Roberts's work include: * Northwest Passage - French and Indian War * Arundel * The Lively Lady * Rabble in Arms - American Revolution; sequel to Arundel * Captain Caution * Oliver Wiswell - American Revolution from the loyalist perspective * Boon Island * Lydia Bailey Roberts described his life in detail in his autobiography, I Wanted to Write. In 1957 he received a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation "for his historical novels which have long contributed to the creation of greater interest in our early American history." Roberts graduated from Cornell University in 1908, where he wrote the lyrics for two Cornell fight songs. He was also a member of the Quill and Dagger society.

He worked first as a journalist, becoming nationally known for his work with the Saturday Evening Post from 1919 to 1928. The Northwest Passage is told through the eyes of primary character Langdon Towne. Much of the novel follows the exploits and character of Robert Rogers, the leader of Rogers' Rangers, who were a colonial force fighting with the British during the French and Indian War. Kenneth Roberts wrote the novel in close collaboration with his neighbor Booth Tarkington, and dedicated the novel to him. The story became a national sensation and was the second best-selling novel in the U.S. in 1937, behind only Gone with the Wind. A signed first trade edition! Gift quality!

Volume one is signed by the author on a specially tipped in page and numbered 228 out of only 1,050 copies printed. Both volumes are contained in a good original, paper covered slip case which is rubbed in many areas and the top panel is creased and shows closed tears to the joints and has a one inch coffee (?) stain to one of the paper labels.

This copy bears the following presentation inscription by the author on the title page in his fine hand, "Inscribed for Mel and Ethel Eaton at the request of Jim and Mildred Campbell, and gladly, with the very best wishes of their friend Kenneth Roberts. July 10, 1937." The book's publication date was June 25, 1937. Langdon Towne and his friend Hunk Marriner get drunk in a pub and are nearly arrested. They escape and encounter frontier soldier Robert Rogers and subsequently join Rogers' Rangers, an elite group of frontiersmen who fought for the British during the Seven Years' War. The group embarks on an often-disastrous mission against French troops and Indian tribes around Quebec, facing both fierce enemies and natural obstacles, including horrendous weather and starvation. The 1940 King Vidor classic film was both a critical and box office success. The film starred Spencer Tracy, Robert Young, Walter Brennan, Ruth Hussey, and Nat Pendleton. An historical novel largely set in the northeastern U.S. during the French and Indian Wars. Fine in dust jacket with a hint of wear to the spine ends.
