Big Flat (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781942885900)

Set in Wisconsin cutover land, Henry Oyen's 1919 novel Big Flat portrays a complex balance between communal class-consciousness and the individualist entrepreneurial spirit so central to American identity. As the landowners of Big Flat clear their land of timber and turn to farming, they face the nefarious efforts of the Starin Paper Company to run them off their land. Their only choice is to band together.
