A very good, scarce copy of this novel, in the original dust jacket.  Grace Lumpkin (1891-1980) wrote half a dozen novels about the transformation of life in southern Appalachia in the 1920s.  Her novels are part family saga, part political novels, with a workers' organization bent.  To Make My Bread is the best known of Lumpkin's works, winning the Gorky Prize in 1933.
