Across the Wide Missouri

US Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1947 is the true first (Pulitzer Prize for History 1948; Bancroft Prize). The first UK edition is Eyre & Spottiswoode, London, 1948 — a year later, therefore a reprint rather than a competing first, and collected only as the first British appearance. Within the 1947 first edition the signed limited issue of 265 numbered copies is the senior issue and the trade issue is the ordinary collected first.
