The master storyteller's novel of the birth, rise and entire history of Texas.
Spanning four centuries that encompass the formation of several great dynasties, an epic saga chronicles the development of the fortune-seeking Rusks, the wheeler-dealer Quimpers, the cotton empire of the Cobbs, and clan of the Garzas.
I don't like Michener's work, but felt this would be a good read as I traveled through Texas. As usual, the length of the novel cannot hide its lack of depth. A real slog.
I love all James A. Michener's books and this is no exception. Great read.
