Prima edizione
8vo. 338 pp. Green cloth, gilt lettrng, w/ d.j. cover art by Clark Moor Weir Will (mnr chppng hd & ft of spine, edgewear, couple sml clsd tears), still a NF/VG copy, from the library of Elaine Eberle Tompkins, detailing in her notes on the frnt pstedn how her ancestor Adam Schuele had sold his land and possessions in Phillipsburg, Pennsylvania in the 1850s to move out and join the Aurora Commune with William Kiel in the Oregon Territory. First edition of this fascinating historical fiction based on historical documents of the Aurora Colony, and was the first attempt to bring the story of William Kiel and his Commune into the public view through a fictionalized approach. The book was quite controversial and does expose many of the unexplored aspects and elements of the Aurora Colony, by subtly presenting the issues of his multiple mistresses, and sexual exploits. The Commune was founded in 1856, and prospered until the early 1870s when Keil began transferring title to some of the land to individual households, but died in 1877 before he finished. Cobie De Lespinasse (b. 1883), grew up in Hubbard, OR near Aurora, and her novels often focused on religion and its impact on gender roles. De Lespinasse based her novel on a wealth of original letters and historical material accumulated by Clark Moor Wier Will, who had previously held much of the material from public view, and had intended on writing a history. The names and the colony were renamed in the book at his request. See James Kopp, Novel Views of the Aurora Colony, Oregon Historical Quaterly, Vol. 110, No. 2, pp. 169-180.
