1stEd THE ONLY NANCY 1917 KENTUCKY MTNS FrancisGeo./GeoRobtsonPresbeterianKYHist

Description: This rare and collectible book, titled "The Only Nancy: A Tale of the Kentucky Mountains" by Francis George(pen name,) actually George Robertson, who was a leader in the Presbyterian church. The only other 1st editions I was able to locate are owned by University libraries, the library of Congress and other institutions. It is a rare find and must-have for any US history or religion enthusiast. Published in 1917 by Fleming H. Revel Company in the United States, this 1st edition book is an original and not a facsimile. The book covers the history of Kentucky at the turn of the 20th century and features inspirational stories of the region's past. With its unique blend of history, religion, and inspirational stories, this book is in print again as a "forgotten Book" and appears to have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity for it's historical details.This is a rare valuable addition and resource for any collection. The binding of this First Edition is in nice shape , it's stated author Francis George was actually George Robertson, a leader in the Presbyterian Church of the time, this only adds to the book's value and makes it a great investment for collectors. Please inspect the photos carefully as they are part of this discription. I included some of the advertisement for other books at the end of the book.One, because I find them fascinating and imagine the times when we couldn't just download a documentary and how books provided our only glimpse into far away places and times. Two , because I wanted to show the quality of the pages which is consistent throughout the book.The secret of the true authorship of this book didn't stay secret very long due to his beautiful writing style. It's beautifully written. In my research I had difficulty finding any other original copies of this book available for purchase and only found evidence of original copies in university collections.
