Facsimile reprint. Imprint on title leaf reads: Grosset & Dunlap, Publishers New York.

"[O]nly one copy bound & printed. A little printery called Aeonian (stated only on the binding) was to print this edition using Grosset & Dunlap plates. This edition was to be published by another small press in Oklahoma at the time of the centennial (1989) of the first run into Oklahoma, but the gilt stamping on the front cover was not as nice as the publisher wanted & the edition died in its infancy ... No dust jacket was printed"--Bookseller's description.
