Details: Announced in May of 1936 and first published in July, 1936, this is the second printing of this classic, issued in July of 1936, the same month as the first printing."Drums along the Mohawk, Edmonds’s masterpiece is the best historical novel about Upstate New York since James Fenimore Cooper. It was also number one on the best-seller list until overtaken by Gone With the Wind."This is the story of the forgotten pioneers of the Mohawk Valley during the Revolutionary War. Here Gilbert Martin and his young wife struggled and lived and hoped. Combating hardships almost too great to endure, they helped give to America a legend that still stirs the heart. In the midst of love and hate, life and death, danger and disaster, they stuck to the acres that were theirs and fought a war without ever quite understanding it. Drums along the Mohawk has been an American classic since its original publication in 1936." ~ * ~"Richly detailed, the story is set in the Mohawk valley in northern New York State during the American Revolutionary War. This was the major east-west artery then and now, connecting the Hudson River valley and Albany to the western portions of the state (the New York Thruway I-90 of today cuts right through the settlements in the story). The author gives a great sense of setting with lots of details about the routines of the isolated settlers of that era. While the characters are not especially complex, the prejudices and tensions between Dutch and Germans, Tories and Continentals, is nicely realized. Real historical figures like Herkimer and the Johnson family appear in supporting roles." ~ Amazon book review A fine addition for your bookshelf!

If you have questions about the book before or after purchasing, please feel free to contact us!Packaging:We take pride in packaging our books for safe delivery, and if you check our feedback, you will see this reflected in the comments of many pleased customers. For nearly all of our books, we use a specially designed boxing system from IPS (Inovative Packaging Solutions) located in York, PA. These media shipping boxes are designed to conform to the size of the book, securing it and preventing it from bumping around during shipping. The end result is a box which provides a double thickness of cardboard covering the front and back of the book; actually almost like a box within a box. The outer layer of cardboard extends beyond the ends of the inner "box" which very efficiently protects the corners of the book from being bumped and damaged by the sometimes rough handling packages receive in transit. In addition we place the book in a plastic bag to help guard against moisture if a package is left out in the elements.Delivery:We aim to get all books shipped within 24 hours of order except on weekends. We can't control the delivery time once a book leaves our hands, but most of the time USPS is prompt in delivery, and the expected delivery time given by eBay is usually fairly accurate. Because we use media mail to keep costs down, it does take a little longer for delivery, and occasionally packages get delayed in the mail system. If for some reason your order has not arrived within the expected time frame, please get in contact with us so that we can try to help you. PrettyBordersPlus free Template Maker by ISDN*tek
