The Inland Ground: An Evocation of the American Middle West: Revised Edition (inscribed to the governor of Kansas)
Univ Pr of Kansas, 1991. Greer, Bill. First thus. Hardcover. Association copy, inscribed on the half-title page in black ink: "To the Governor [Joan Finney] and the people of Kansas from a native--at Cedar Crest, May 22, 1992, Richard Rhodes." Joan Finney was the first woman to serve as Governor of Kansas, from 1991-1995. A nice association, since this book is a reissue by the University of Kansas Press of Richard Rhodes's 1970 first book. He would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize in nonfiction, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award (the triple crown) for his 1986 900-page work of literary journalism, The Making of the Atomic Bomb. He is also widely known for his great biography of John James Audubon. Rhodes was born in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1938. Fine book in fine jacket. Fine / Fine. Item #ABE-1613717511564
