The Preacher and the Slave

STEGNER, Wallace.

The Preacher and the Slave.

FIRST EDITION. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1950.

Octavo. 403 pp. Original orange cloth with black ruling and lettering; publisher's black topstain. In the original color illustrated dust jacket designed by William Barss, $3.75 unclipped. Colberg A11.1.a. Fine, with a light scrape to the lower board edges and slight wear to the spine ends; in a near fine dust jacket with wear and light scraping to the extremities. 

Stegner's biographical novel about Joe Hill — the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) organizer and songwriter executed by firing squad in Salt Lake City on November 19, 1915, whose abridged final words, "don't mourn, organize," became a labor rallying cry. The book is part biography, part fictional reconstruction, and part Stegner's own working through of how a movement creates its martyrs.
