One Man's Texas: From the Cotton Patch to the Oil Patch (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425970918)

One Man's Texas is a rugged historical fiction novel about Jack Moore set in 1919 in the West Texas oil boomtown of Rola. A family saga, Jack and Liz Moore struggle to rear four children, 7-16, living out on the family cotton farm and then moving into town for Jack to become Rola's first marshal. When a wildcatter strikes oil on their once-worthless, red gumbo cotton field, the Moores gradually evolve from disbelief to a grasp of the reality of striking oil! Jack has the wildcatter, Buz, and their oldest son, Buddy, manage his business. Liz's passion for learning is realized through university scholarships honoring her teacher and friend, Martha Baker. Their children mature while successfully pursuing their varied interests.
