Cross, Peggy Crash! Bang!! Cold!!!
Montreal De La Salle Press 1932 Third Edition Decorative Cloth Fair Hardcover 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Author
Author's inscription "To Sidney Silver, Wishing you happy landings" Peggy Cross 1932. 173 pp. 7 black and white photo-illustrations of Northern locales as seen through the eyes of a budding Amelia Erhardt. Quirky, off-beat descriptions make this a period piece of northern bush flying in a Junkers with a water-cooled engine which . . . "goes on plugging hour after hour and hardly ever misses if the gas and everything is right." After a crash through the ice described with characteristic deadpan panache comes the following gem: " We had brought a few bottles of beer with us, in the bonnet of the plane, but they froze of course and the Indians broke the glass away and ate the beer-- every piece of it. They also had rations of Seagram's V.O. Rye whisky instead of some of the stuff they usually drink which is called squirrel juice. They call it squirrel juice because those who drink it want to climb trees." This piece of 1930's Canadian Folk Art is only slightly affected by the lack of one plate and the final page.
