Westward the Women

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1944.

Price: $75.00

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in a moderately age-toned, very good dustwrapper with small chips at the spine ends. Wagon train full of women looking for husbands heads west to sex-starved California, must fight off the unwanted advances of their escort party as well as threatening natives. Apparently the uncredited basis for the 1951 film directed by William Wellman and starring Robert Taylor and Denise Darcel, some of whose racy dialogue in her native French would not have been approved by the Hays Office if they had been more conversant in the language.
