Great Day In The Morning - By Robert Hardy Andrews

Hardcover first published in England 1952 by The Bodley Head. The jacket is whole and bright, but with several small chips and tears to the edges, and some minor soiling to the rear panel. The boards are clean and solid, but with bumped corners, and the spine is slightly cocked. All pages are clean and unmarked.  "Around a man of strong character, Robert Hardy Andrews has written a moving, swiftly-paced novel spotlighting an intriguing moment in American history - that moment when the development of a vast country was suspended so that men might shed each other's blood in a frenzied war. Through the eyes of a boy whose father was shot down by a man called Pentecost, through the eyes of a saloon girl, a dress maker from St. Louis, and a wise Padre, we see the passions of America struggling in one man's soul."
