The Woods Colt: A Novel of the Ozark Hills

288 pp. Original orange cloth hardcover binding, beige spine panel with black lettering, picture panel on front cover, illustrated endpapers. Black & white frontispiece and illustrations by Raymond Bishop. "...It is alive with the speech and the ways of mountain folk, telling a story that is simple and elemental as the everlastin' hills. The Woods Colt had trouble a-plenty before things caught up with him. He was almost born for trouble, but he led a merry life and a pleasant one in spite of the fact that the Law was after him. It was only when the best thing in all his life started and when he broke the code of his own folks by running off with his sweetheart-cousin that he began to see things and hear voices a little too close for any human good."
