The book is titled Young'Un and it was written by HERBERT BEST; it was published by The Macmillan Company in 1944 and is a book club edition.Here is a novel of reality and enchantment; a tale of upstate New York in the days of land grants, of frontier hardship and robust love-making.Old Man Post, who couldn't tolerate home, family life, or farmin', turned his back on all three when fate burned down his house and killed his wife. This left Eldest, Dan'l, and Young'un to carry on the farm as Dan'l thought Pa would want it to be. And Young'un bears on her young shoulders a full share of the responsibility for Dan'l's stubborn dream. Backed by the neighborly generosity of Gunsmith she helps Dan'l fight the ornery Sim Higgins when he covets the beloved oxen. But as well as hard work, there is a full-blooded rejoicing when the new log house is rolled up. There is lusty humor in the spitting contest in which Young'un ties with Preacher; and there is a stark bitter tale of a winter's cold. Here is life with rich truthfulness of background, of atmosphere and incident.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
