FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, IN THE FIRST BINDING.  Go Down, Moses, a collection of seven related pieces of short fiction, is sometimes considered a novel. It spans more than a century in the history of the McCaslin family, viewing their hardships and triumphs by examining their daily lives. It is considered by some to be Faulkner's most spiritual book, as shown in the connection to nature and the land in "The Old People," "The Bear," and "Delta Autumn." Peterson A23.2b.
