Bo Mason, his wife, Elsa, and their two boys live a transient life of poverty and despair. Drifting from town to town and from state to state, the violent, ruthless Bo seeks out his fortune—in the hotel business, in new farmland, and, eventually, in illegal rum-running through the treacherous back roads of the American Northwest. Stegner portrays more than thirty years in the life of the Mason family in this masterful, harrowing saga of people trying to survive during the lean years of the early twentieth century.

The Franklin Library \"Signed 60\" collection is widely considered to be one of the most spectacular and valuable of the Franklin Library or Easton Press collections. All titles in the 60 Signed Limited Editions series were privately printed between 1977 and 1982 and signed by the author. They are bound in genuine leather, with gilt page edges, 22k gold accents, and sewn-in bookmarks. As Franklin Library closed in 2000, all titles in the 60 Signed Limited Editions series are out of print with many considered very rare. This luxurious collection includes Tennessee Williams - Selected Plays, Kurt Vonnegut - Slaughterhouse Five, Jean-Paul Sartre - Five Plays, Truman Capote - Other Voices, Other Rooms, Joseph Heller - Catch 22, Robert Penn Warren - All the King\'s Men, and many more.

In addition to their gorgeous leather bindings, Franklin Library Press books are known for their interior illustrations. The Franklin Library commissioned fine art illustrations from known artists for many of their titles. These illustrations were commissioned to be used only for that particular Franklin Library book, and cannot be found anywhere else.
