Description: CIMARRON, 1930 Grosset & Dunlap edition by EDNA FERBER with wrap-around movie poster dust jacket. From the famous & rare Cimarron movie poster (not included). The beautiful artwork was illustrated by Frederic C. Madan for the famous movie poster, "who portrays the hero and heroine in fine detail against a vivid, sun-drenched background filled with wagon trains, Indian chiefs, and trusty steeds." The novel is set in the Oklahoma of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It follows the lives of Yancey and Sabra Cravat, beginning with Yancey's tale of his participation in the 1893 land rush. They emigrate from Wichita, Kansas, to the fictional town of Osage, Oklahoma with their son Cim and—unknowingly—a black boy named Isaiah. In Osage, the Cravats print their newspaper, the Oklahoma Wigwam, and build their fortune amongst Indian disputes, outlaws, and the discovery of oil in Oklahoma.Upon its publication, Cimarron was a sensation in America and came to epitomize an era in American history. It was the best selling novel of 1930, as it provided readers an outlet to escape their present suffering in the Great Depression. This novel became Ferber's third successful novel and paved the way for many more Ferber-penned historical epics.
