BREAK THE YOUNG LAND by Joshua Stark

BREAK THE YOUNG LAND

By

Pub Date: April 10th, 1964
Publisher: Doubleday

Contrasts in post-Civil War Kansas, cow vs. plow, and the thickset Norwegian accent of Borg Vikstrom who wants to raise wheat vs. the Texan drawl of Quincannon who is anxious to keep the land for his critters to graze on. These opposites do not attract and their antagonism is sharpened by another man who wants to get rid of both, repossess their acreage and make a fast buck.... Graded somewheres below prime or choice.
