Notable for including the first appearance in book format of Green's Pulitzer Prize-winning play "In Abraham's Bosom," centered on an African-American farmer from North Carolina whose efforts at self-improvement are thwarted by segregation.

The play was included in Burns Mantle's The Best Plays of 1926-1927, and starred Charles Sidney Gilpin in its original run on Broadway."--Vendor statement.
