Cimarron (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515469155)

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Cimarron by Edna Ferber is a sweeping classic American historical novel that captures the raw ambition, danger, and promise of the Oklahoma Land Rush and the shaping of the American frontier.

Set against the turbulent settlement of the Oklahoma Territory, this powerful work of American frontier fiction follows pioneers, dreamers, and risk-takers as they race westward in search of land, fortune, and identity. At its heart is Sabra Cravat, one of the most compelling heroines in early 20th-century American literature-a determined woman navigating pioneer life in the American West, political upheaval, and the shifting moral landscape of a new society.

Ferber's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel blends Western literary classic storytelling with richly detailed historical fiction, exploring themes of American expansion, ambition, social change, and the cost of progress. From frontier towns and land claims to courtroom battles and newspaper presses, Cimarron vividly portrays the forces that forged modern America.

Both a landmark of American literature and a deeply human story, Cimarron stands among the greatest novels of Western historical fiction, essential reading for fans of classic novels, women in early America fiction, and stories of the settlement of the American West.
