Chicago Book Supply Company 1919 Hard Cover Good
With illustrations by J. Allen St. John. 352 pages, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the Harold Bell Wright web site written and produced by Gerry Chudleigh: Most people today are surprised to learn that during the first quarter of the twentieth century the novels of Harold Bell Wright (1872-1944) outsold every other American writer. Newspapers of the day claimed Wright was the first person to become a millionaire by writing novels, and some say he was the first author to write a novel that reached a million sales. If not true, neither statement can be far wrong. Between 1903 and 1942, Harold Bell Wright wrote nineteen books, many scripts for stage plays, and several magazine articles. At least fifteen movies were made from his novels. Six of Wright's books appeared on the top ten best sellers lists, two of them twice, including a first in 1914 and a second in 1916. Undoubtedly Wright's best known titles were The Shepherd of the Hills, set in the Ozark mountains of Missouri, and The Winning of Barbara Worth, set in the Imperial Valley of southeastern California.

With four illustrations by F. Graham Cootes. 511 pages, 3 plates, 1 map, pictorial cloth in color, v.g. 1st edition, Published August 1911. From the acknowledgement: While this story is not in any way a history of this part of the Colorado Desert now known as the Imperial Valley, nor a biography of anyone connected with this splendid achievement, I must in honesty admit that this work which in the past ten years has transformed a vast, desolate waste into a beautiful land of homes, cities, and farms, has been my inspiration.From the Harold Bell Wright web site written and produced by Gerry Chudleigh: Most people today are surprised to learn that during the first quarter of the twentieth century the novels of Harold Bell Wright (1872-1944) outsold every other American writer.
