The Iron Orchard

Beschreibung

Originally published in 1966, The Iron Orchard garnered a cult following for its authentic representation of the people and business of the Texas and American Southwest oil fields. Now available again in a new edition, it tells the story of a young Texan, Jim McNeely, who is desperate to make a name for himself in the oil fields of Texas.

Autor

The late Texan Edmund Pendleton Van Zandt Jr published The Iron Orchard under the pen name Tom Pendleton and described himself merely as ""an old roustabout type who has retired from the oil patch to write about it."" Van Zandt, a member of the prominent Fort Worth Van Zandt family, lived through many of the oil field experiences he described in this book.
