Little, Brown and Company : Boston, 1947. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Mountain Timeby Bernard DeVoto Published by Little, Brown and Company, Boston 1947, Hard bound, Good+ condition (cover wear at corners, edges and along spine edges, cover spine crease, no jacket). Mountain Time is a drama of human motives at war with one another. It is set in contrasting environments, medicine, the literary world, a small Western city, the mountains. It is intense with the groping human effort to master experience. Its action takes a brilliant young doctor from New York back to the West of his childhood. It is the story of two people drawn together by profound forces. Why does a man avoid marrying the woman he loves? Why would a young doctor voluntarily give up a brilliant career in surgery? Can one be so in love with death that he will be impelled to desire his own destruction? The answers are here in the story of Cy Kinsman and Josephine.American writer, historian, and editor, Bernard Augustine De Voto (pseudonym John August), was born in Ogden, Utah in 1897. He graduated from Harvard in 1920 and taught English and creative writing at Northwestern University from 1922 to 1927 and Harvard University from 1929 to 1936. From 1935 until his death in 1955 he served as editor of "The Easy Chair," a column in Harper's. De Voto also served briefly as editor of the Saturday Review of Literature (1936-1938) and was the long-time literary editor of the Mark Twain Estate. In this latter role he published previously unknown Twain manuscripts and also wrote Mark Twain's America (1932) and Mark Twain at Work (1942). De Voto's novels include The Chariot of Fire (1926), The House of Sun-Goes-Down (1928), and Mountain Time (1947). De Voto is best remembered for his histories of the American West, including The Year of Decision: 1846 (1943), Across the Wide Missouri (1947), for which he won the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction, and The Course of Empire (1952)."His West was the Rocky Mountain West...It was not the scene of rugged individualism, as was often claimed. It was the precise opposite, the home of people who cooperated or failed...Western individualists usually found themselves on one end of a rope whose other end was in the hands of a bunch of vigilantes." Wallace Stegner (1974) The Uneasy Chair: A Biography of Bernard DeVoto. "The mind will not tolerate a vacuum. When there is no knowledge, there will be data; wish, desire, fear, and deductive thinking will provide them." Bernard DeVoto (1952) The Course of Empire.The book is approximately 5 X 8 inches in size and contains 313 pages.
