Description: Day Of The Trumpet by Miriam Colwell1947 1st Edition, 1st Printing, hard cover, 280 pages “The time is the last half of the last century; the scene a tiny Maine fishing village; the chief characters are a white boy and his Negro companion, growing up together on that harsh coast. Justin Sand has the nimble wit and ruthless drive to win his way in business at the expense of friendship, in love at the cost of a broken heart. The market for lobsters is opening up. Justin, a rash captain and a shrewd buyer, learns the dangers and the sudden rewards of a rough-and-tumble business on its way to building a whole region to prosperity. “Against a setting of bleak headland and boiling surf, of lazy talk in the village store and hazard on the treacherous sea, Miss Colwell tells a story of over-reaching ambition, mellowed by Yankee tang and humor.” Binding intact. Cover cloth has wear on edges and corners, and some stains overall. Boards have small dents at top edge and a crimped corner on back cover. Library catalogue info written inside. Synopsis, possibly from the dust jacket, is glued to front end leaf. Please see photos.
