CALDWELL, Erskine (1903-1987). Tobacco Road. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1932.
8o. Original rust cloth, front cover and spine stamped in blind and gilt; pictorial dust jacket (a few short tears/nicks along edges, one letter of title on front panel partly abraded, some light soiling).
FIRST EDITION. Tobacco Road ranks as one of the preeminent novels of the American South, a stark and disturbing look at the backwoods of Caldwell's homestate of Georgia. The phrase "Tobacco Road" entered the American consciousness almost immediately, signifying the environment that nurtured poor, ill-educated and volatile whites. SCARCE IN THE JACKET.
