Cover code #31705 identifies second of two Ace paperback printings (not stated, code indicates betweeen 1967 and 1970). Early Jackson novel, first published in 1951. Hangsaman contains certain elements similar to the mysterious real-life December 1946 disappearance of 18-year-old Bennington College sophomore Paula Jean Welden of Stamford, Connecticut. This event, which remains unsolved to this day, took place in the wooded wilderness of the Glastenbury Mountain near Bennington in southern Vermont, where Jackson and her family were living at the time. The fictional college depicted in Hangsaman is based in part on Jackson’s experiences at Bennington College.
