The Rivers of America Series

We believe this series to represent 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.

Click on Image to expandMap of The Rivers of America Series (Giclee Reproduction) by: Ernest Clegg, Giclee map reproduction Published by: Farrar and Rinehart in New York: 1942/2004. A fine reproduction made on linen and mounted on white canvas. The map image measures 36" wide by 24" high with ample surrounding material for framing either on a stretcher or in a mat and frame. We suspect that the original copies of this map distributed by Farrar and Rinehart were sent in mailing tubes. The original, from which this reproduction was made, most certainly was as there are no creases or folds to the paper (but, it does still show a wavy appearance from the years it remained rolled-up). The map names 169 rivers and traces many others without giving them a name. A very colorful map of ten colors detailing the rivers throughout the United States. The map was created by Ernest Clegg in 1942 under the direction of Farrar and Rinehart publishers of The Rivers of America Series. The map has been reproduced using a "giclee" method of computer printing on a linen on canvas, archival paper. The image size is 36" by 24"and is a faithful recreation of the original with all of its many colors. All blemishes have been removed and any imperfections repaired digitally. Giclee reprints are expensive to produce; but, the results are well worth it. A copy of the print can be ordered with an initial deposit of $162.50. Delivery time is typically two weeks. The balance due for the print will be charged at the time of shipment. The original is an extremely scarce item which is in high demand by collectors of the Rivers of America Series as the final capstone to a magnificent collection. TB19975 $325.00
