Critics Review
“Fascinating.”—Time
“A book about oil and water, rangers and outlaws, frontier and settlement, money and power … [James A. Michener] manages to make history vivid.”—The Boston Globe
“A sweeping panorama … [Michener] grapples earnestly with the Texas character in a way that Texas’s own writers often don’t.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Vast, sprawling, and eclectic in population and geography, the state has just the sort of larger-than-life history that lends itself to Mr. Michener’s taste for multigenerational epics.”—The New York Times
