I read this a number of years ago, before I discovered Project Gutenburg. Yes, it's edited, and I hate editing, but Phillips does a good job. If you don't want the dialect, this is a great book to read. The unedited version is now on my to-read list, since I finally found a reprinted hardback copy of the original version. After I read the edited copies, I have gone back through each of his books slowly, and very few of Phillips's editings took out enough to make the story unrecognizable, as some editors I could name do. I would definitely recommend this.
