El reparto de tierras, la expoliación de los indios, los tiempos de vida dura y arriesgada, las fechorías de los hombres fuera de la ley, el descubrimiento de los pozos de petróleo, están enmarcados en el cuadro realista de una existencia en la que se mezcla la brutalidad y los sentimientos generosos"--Jacket."

  • "Oklahoma, from the run of 1889, through pioneer days, problems of bad-men and Indians and discovery of oil, down to its sophisticated present, is the ever-changing back-ground which makes an epic of the story of Yancey Cravat, dreamer, windmill-tilter, adventurer and gun-man, and Sabra, his wife, descendant of languid southern gentlefolk but with enough iron in her blood to be a sturdy pioneer wife and mother, to foster the spirit of feminism in the women of Osage, to build up from infancy a territorial newspaper, and to serve as congresswoman from Oklahoma."@en
  • "The novel is set in the Oklahoma of the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It follows the lives of Yancy and Sabra Cravat, beginning with Yancey's tale of his participation in the 1893 land rush. They emigrate from Wichita, Kansas to the fictional town of Osage, Oklahoma with their son, Cim, and (unknowingly) a black boy named Isaiah. The Cravats here print their newspaper, the Oklahoma Wigwam, and build their fortune amongst Indian disputes, outlaws, and the discovery of oil in Oklahoma."
