In a Fevered Land (Paperback)

Lon Prather and his cousin Emory Campbell, determined to escape the drought and ruin of cotton farming, follow the promise of money and adventure to the oil-field town of Wink, Texas. Sandell depicts depression-era boom-towns with sensitivity and historical accuracy, at the same time weaving a complex and twisting plot of love, regret, and power. A western for the twenty-first century.
