[Signed] [First Edition] Big Lake: A Tragedy in Two Parts RIGGS

First edition. Foreword by Barrett H. Clark. Fine in an attractive example of the fragile dust jacket with a chip at the bottom of the front panel affecting a couple of words on the front panel. Signed by the author on the title page. Riggs, of Cherokee descent, was the first Native-American writer to achieve widespread success as a playwright. This was his first published play, making this almost certainly the first published play by an author of Native-American descent (long predating the works of Hanay Geiogamah and others). His play *Green Grow the Lilacs* was later adapted by Rodgers and Hammerstein into their first collaboration, the musical play and subsequent film *Oklahoma!* A very uncommon title.
