Trade Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 1975 Reprint. 311 Pages. Light wear to front cover. Interior text pages are bright, tight, and white. No marks. A 1975 reprint of the 1950 edition. A fictional history of the fabled and fabulous Maxwell Land Grant of New Mexico which hosted everyone from the Spanish to the Apaches to Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett. Nearly two million acres centering around the town of Cimarron, was one of the largest pieces of land to be owned by one man in the history of the United States. This epic historical novel is a fictionalized account of that vast estate in the years after the Civil War, an era of conflict and change in the West. Set in the mountains and valleys of northern New Mexico, peopled with unforgettable characters: Jean Ballard, the mountain man who cares an empire out of the wilderness; Major Arnold Blore, the speculator who wrests control of the land from the bankrupt and dying ballard; the backwoods prophet Daniel Laird, these and others embody the forces that built the West as it is today. Fergusson is a craftsman and prose stylist of extraordinary ability. He has succeeded in an area where others have overreached themselves, in capturing the intellectual and emotional vitality of those brave men, past and present, who have contributed their lives and talents to the Southwest and in understanding the desires of their hearts as well as the fact of their courage.…
