"The Big Rich"
by Bryan Burrough
A spellbinding chronicle of Texas Oil. Weaving together the multi-generational saga of the industry's four wealthiest families, Burroughs brings to life the men known in their day as The Big Four: Roy Cullen, H.L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, and Sid Richardson.
It's 1870s Texas with breathtaking adventures of heroes and scoundrels, youth and wisdom, heartbreak and triumph. Nominated for the National Book Award, this gem is exquisitely written with captivating characters and vivid images of wild Texas.
"News Of The World"
by Paulette Jiles
Brutal and beautiful, a gripping story of the Comanche, their fierce and brilliant chief, Quannah Parker, and the inevitable downfall of the tribe as their warrior culture faced a changing world.
"Empire of the Summer Moon"
by S.C. Gwynn
A warm self portrait of a man and an exuberant celebration of the store that has become the best know landmark in Texas since the Alamo. As the epitome of quality, he played a key role in making Dallas itself a success.
