FORGOTTEN FRONTIERS - THEODORE DREISER Forgotten Frontiers Dreiser and the Land of the Free, by Dorothy Dudley, First Edition, 1932, Harrison Smith and Robert Haas, 485 pages, Dust Jacket has some edge tears, nothing detrimental, and in good condition.

Theodore Dreiser has loomed a massive and enigmatic mountain against the American literary scene. However, though his novels and short stories have been read by hundreds of thousands of people, though his work and personality have always caused dissent and clamor, there is actually little known to the public about the man himself, his origin, his grim fight for freedom of expression and thought.

This book is not only about Drieser, it is about America, beginning thirty years ago when restless and creative men and women were tearing themselves, and the nation with them, away from the tradition-encrusted soil not only of the Middle West but of the whole country. It recites what Dreiser, Sherwood Anderson, Masters, Floyd Dell, Lewis, Mencken, Sandburg and a host of other fighters against our sentimentality and prudery said and thought and did.

First published in 1906, and 1,200 of the 2,000 copies in that edition were burned. Joseph Gaer's Bibliography of California literature, 20 describes this book as written in the form of a diary, but fictional. The Diary of a Forty-Niner (1920) reprints Canfield's 1906 publication. It purports to be the diary of Alfred T. Jackson, of Litchfield County, Connecticut, during his days as a gold prospector, 1850-1852. Jackson offers firsthand accounts of Nevada City and neighboring Rock Creek; descriptions of Grass Valley, North and South Yuba Valleys, and the Sierra Mountains; details of gold mining with accounts of pioneer overland crossings, and foreign mineworkers (including Chinese). Entries concerning Jackson's personal life include details of his courtship of a French woman in the camps.
