Cimarron

As they navigate the adventures and challenges of life on the frontier, Yancey starts a newspaper and Sabra begins cultivating society. But as the town booms and their newspaper prospers, Yancey—and their son—crave adventure of the kind that small-town life can’t provide, while Sabra’s ambitions expand beyond her homestead, and eventually the town. The story chronicles their prototypical frontier struggles against the backdrop of a proud Native American nation, the Osage, who are facing both physical and cultural conquest.

Cimarron was enormously successful, becoming the best-selling novel of 1930 when the Great Depression left people people desperate for stories of escape and adventure. It was later issued as an Armed Services Edition during World War II, cementing its legacy as part of American mythology for an entirely new generation.
