Hardcover in original green cloth with rust-colored titling and decorative vignette to front board and spine; illustrated throughout by Thomas Hart Benton. Printed and bound by Kingsport Press, Tennessee. A classic Depression-era Appalachian novel by Kentucky author Jesse Stuart, capturing rural life with authenticity and vernacular richness, enhanced by Benton's distinctive, energetic illustrations. This copy presents in Near Fine condition. The binding is firm and square, with bright, clean cloth and strong spine lettering; only light, typical handling wear and faint surface marks to boards. Corners remain sharp with minimal rubbing. Interior is exceptionally well preserved: endpapers clean, hinges sound, and text pages crisp and bright with no writing, markings, or damage. The Benton illustrations are particularly sharp, with no offsetting or loss of detail. A desirable early printing of Stuart's best-known work, Taps for Private Tussie reflects his deep connection to Appalachian culture and oral storytelling traditions. The collaboration with Thomas Hart Benton - one of America's foremost Regionalist artists - adds significant artistic interest, making this an appealing copy for both literary and art collectors. Jesse Stuart (1906-1984) was an American writer, educator, and farmer whose works drew heavily from his life in rural Kentucky. Associated with the Southern Appalachian literary tradition, he is best known for his vivid depictions of mountain life and his commitment to preserving regional voice and culture. Thomas Hart Benton (1889-1975), the illustrator, was a leading figure in American Regionalism, celebrated for his dynamic portrayals of everyday American scenes.
