The Rivers of America Series

We believe this series represents one of the finest adventures ever undertaken by any publisher in an effort to blend the talents of both writers and artists to present a tribute to the rivers which played such a vital role in the development of our nation. The series was initially conceived by Constance Lindsay Skinner who was the first editor of the series. It started in 1937 with the publication of Kennebec by Robert P. Tristram Coffin. And, under the guidance of three other editors the series endured until 1974 when the last book in the series: The American written by Margaret Sanborn was produced. The editors looked for only the best writers for the series who were to be either novelists or poets so that the product would be a literary sketch not an historical tome. A testament to their outstanding work is the fact that many of these volumes continue to be reprinted. (For an excellent overview of this series we suggest that Robert Gilbert's article be read which appeared in the September, 1995 issue of Firsts Magazine.)

Little known to many of the collectors of the Rivers of America Series is a group of nine books published for "young adults". This subset of the Rivers series was also published by Holt Rinehart & Winston between 1962 to 1970. The publisher targeted sales to school and public libraries. As a result, most of the copies which have been found and resold in the secondary markets have a "reinforced library binding". To see a list of our stock in this series please click here.

Fitzgerald, Carol: The Rivers of America A Descriptive Bibliography. New Castle, DE: Oak Knoll Press, 2001. First Edition. Both volumes of this two volume set are in fine condition in dark blue cloth covered boards with gilt text stampings on the spines. Both are octavos measuring 9 by 6 inches with decorative end sheets. Both volumes are in fine unclipped dust jackets. Extensive research and years of searching for every variant copy for all of the titles in the Rivers of America series have allowed the author to compile an extremely detailed and highly authoritative bibliography of this series. Volume 1 contains 434 pages while volume 2 contains pages 435 to 899 which includes an index for both volumes. I am of the opinion that this is one of the best bibliographies ever published as it goes into extreme detail of each volume and every variant, provides a biography of each author and each illustrator. I know of no other bibliography that covers as much material or as thoroughly. An invaluable resource for any serious collector of this series. An extremely handsome set and now that it is out of print sure to grow in value.
