Northwest Passage 1st Limited 2 Vol Ed by Kenneth Roberts, Signed & Numbered

About the Item

Northwest Passage, Limited 2 Volume Edition By Kenneth Roberts. Published by Doubleday, Doran & Company Inc., Garden City, N.Y., 1937. 1st Ed hardcovers with dust jacket and slipcase. From Nelson Doubleday's estate. This is copy #2/1050 signed by the author. The author was given the number 1 and the publisher retained number 2. Nelson Doubleday (1889 – 1949) was a U.S. book publisher and president of Doubleday Company from 1922–1946. His father Frank Nelson Doubleday had founded the business and he followed him into the business, taking part in its' expansion and serving as the president from 1978–1986. The book is told through the eyes of the primary character Langdon Towne, much of the novel follows the exploits and character of Robert Rogers, the leader of Rogers' Rangers, who were a colonial force fighting with the British during the French and Indian War. This book was the basis for the classic and successful 1940 King Vidor film starring Spencer Tracy. I believe the books has never been read as many of the pages have never been cut. We are a division of Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
