“Fascinating stories of people in pursuit of their piece of the oil boom.” ―Booklist, Starred Review

“The characters in The New Wild West are as complex and riveting as Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid.” ―A.J. Jacobs, New York Times Bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically: One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible
