Description

This is the first complete and edited draft of Sacred Clowns. At the time of this draft the title for this novel was "The Death of Valuable Men", which foreshadows the plot of the novel. This edition is lightly edited by Hillerman and, in some cases, he includes notes to remind himself of information he wishes to add for plot for consistency. Additionally, the names of secondary characters appear to not have not been finalized in this draft.
