Author of The Glory Days of Buffalo Egbert
a.k.a People of the Whistling Waters
A sweeping novel of the Native American experience as seen by
a powerful and controversial member of the Osage nation.
C. R. Jones was one of the wealthiest men in Oklahoma. A full-blooded Osage Indian, he'd parlayed the black gold of oil into a position of unassailable power. But behind the success lay a long and tumultuous past: the scrawny kid with a gun who'd ridden with outlaws and avenged his father's brutal murder; the passionate teen who'd pledged his undying love to the one woman he could never have; the driven tycoon who'd made enemies as fast as he made money. Everett Jakomin was the son of one of those enemies. A small-town storekeeper, he hated and feared C. R., until he unexpectedly found himself the keeper of C. R.'s legacy. And as Everett soon discovered, only by learning C. R.'s remarkable story would he ever know the truth about himself.
Filled with the color and spirit of Oklahoma history-from the life and lore of the Osage nation to the hardscrabble frontier days of marauding outlaws to the prosperity of the 1950s-here is the stirring tale of two very different men linked by a fierce pride and a tragic secret.
