The Troll Garden

The McClure, Phillips & Co., New York, 1905 edition is the true first and the census claim is confirmed. No contemporaneous English edition is recorded among the sources consulted, so there is no UK-vs-US precedence question here. The census note that this is Cather's first fiction is correct and should not be loosened to "first book" — her first book was the 1903 poetry collection April Twilights; The Troll Garden is her second book and first book of fiction.
