About This Item
New York: The Press of the Readers Club, 1942. hardcover. Book VG: toning/offset to endpapers, mild shelf wear, text clean, binding tight/DJ G+: corner and edge wear, chipping, age toning, NOT clipped.. 8vo 361pp. with foreword by Sinclair Lewis. from front flap: "Mr. Hibben has written a great biography, and one of lasting value. It is not merely interesting; it is profound. But its historical scholarship does not lie like a leaden weight on the book; for Hibben's style is graceful and delicate, sometimes almost gay. He is so saturated with Beecher knowledge that he writes without effort. In reading it one feels that Paxton Hibben understands Beecher better than anybody has ever understood him, and that his books is a permanent contribution to American history." #01891.
