John Dos Passos, 1919 First Edition
<B>John Dos Passos, </B></I><B><I>1919</B></I></B></I> (New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1932), first edition, 473 pages, untrimmed, orange-cloth binding with silver lettering, 12mo (7.75" x 5.25"), dust jacket (in protective sleeve). Chicago-born John Dos Passos (1896-1970) graduated from Harvard, studied art and architecture in Spain, and drove an ambulance during World War I (like his fellow "Lost Generation" novelist Ernest Hemingway). Back in the States in 1927, he joined other artists, including Upton Sinclair, in a futile effort to save anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti from the electric chair. Published in 1932, <I>1919</B></I> was the second volume in his "U.S.A. Trilogy," which also includes <I>The 42nd Parallel</B></I> (1930) and <I>The Big Money</B></I> (1936). The book is in very good condition with minor wear; the dust jacket is fair-good with paper loss at the top edge and along the bottom of the spine.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
