The Dark Wind, Revised Manuscript (Photocopy).
This is a photocopy of a completed manuscript for The Dark Wind. This manuscript includes all the front matter of a published book and a note to the Harper & Row editors regarding the contents. It appears to have been marked up by both Harper & Row editors and Tony Hillerman himself. There are notes back and forth between author and editors in the margins regarding plot points. Most interesting, is Hillerman's note about writing his own brief description l for the dust cover because he did not want hints to the plot given away.
