The City of Trembling Leaves
Walter Van Tilburg Clark · Random House (New York) · 1945
US-only first: Random House, New York, 1945 — the census claim is correct, and no UK edition precedes it in the records consulted. Written in English, so no original-language precedence question arises. The University of Nevada Press reissue in its Western Literature series is a modern reprint, not a competing first, and does not affect precedence.
