Elmer Kelton
From one of the West's greatest living storytellers, winner of numerous awards, including the Spur, the Golden Saddleman, and the Western Heritage Award, here is Elmer Kelton's magnificent new novel of the wildcat West Texas oil boom of the 1920s.
It used to be that the worst crime in Caprock was moonshining or lying about your Saturday night date on Sunday morning - until someone struck oil. Now the scent of the stuff has brought every dreamer, drifter, and two-bit swindler to town. Among them is the frontier mobster Big Boy Daugherty, who warns any who'd stand in his way: Get out or die. One man will do neither.
Sheriff Dave Buckalew is a man too proud to give up and too stubborn to give in. He liked his town the way it was - before the bootleggers, brothels, and fortune-seeking roustabouts - and so did a lot of other hardworking, decent folk. Together they'll fight to win back their town - and their future. This is the story of their heroic stand.

Very interesting history of early oil production

This book is a lot about good vs evil, small town justice and redemption even, though not for all perhaps. Yes, some of it is what we would consider "corny" at times and I'll admit to a few eye rolls too. There is a good amount of humor thrown in along but sometimes you had to catch it.
I found myself creating chores in the house so I could listen and the last hour or so is especially good, when it all comes to a head as they say.
After the book ended I couldn't help but wonder what happened to some of the characters, but this was a "standalone" book that you will recognize names from previous books.
I'd have to say this is one of his best works. Yes I am a Kelton fan but ironically what is probably his most famous work, The Time It Never Rained, is one that I could not finish. Perhaps it's time I gave it another try.
Excellent story about the early Texas oil boom
