FIRST BOOK FROM THE FUTURE FILMMAKER[MICHEAUX, OSCAR.] The Conquest; The Story of a Negro Pioneer. By The Pioneer. Frontispiece portrait of the author. 8vo, original cloth, some cover soiling and spotting. Lincoln, NE: Woodruff, 1913
Second printing of Micheaux's first book. Self-published, both printings were very small. Micheaux, a successful farmer, was defrauded by his in-laws and lost his land. He took to writing lurid "pulp fiction" to earn a living, eventually turning to the new medium of film. For the most part he filmed his own tales, and his films are considered classics of the genre.<
