 1566790278,
Random House, 1985, First edition thus. Hardcover with dust jacket. Condition: As new. The striking novel Blood Meridian offers an unflinching narrative of the brutality that accompanied the push to the West in the 1850s. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border, Blood Meridian traces the fortunes of the Kid, whose birth ended his mother's life in Tennessee. Scrawny and wiry he runs away at the age of 14. As he makes his way westward the impoverished and illiterate youth finds trouble at every turn. Then he's recruited by Army irregulars, lured by the promise of spoils and bound for Mexico. Churning a dusty path toward destiny, he witnesses unknown horrors and suffering-and yet, as if shielded by the almighty hand of God, he survives to breathe another day in the nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving. Hardcover special anniversary edition 32nd printing with dust jacket of the first edition in very fine condition ISBN:9780679641049
