First Edition stated (and correct first issue dustjacket). Harold Von Schmidt dustjacket art. Tennessee backwoods set novel of "good darkey laughter and whisky flavored speech are an intrinsic part of this unforgettable tale. Old Bill Jack Murdock, the local bootlegger, his son Jim, college bred and aware that he is a social outcast, and Mary Sue, the delicate and aristocratic daughter of Mr. Meredith are the chief figures in this drama". Near Fine in a Very Good dustjacket, some shallow loss at upper spine end, less than a dime sized chip at mid rear panel.
