Madness in the Heart(Paperback)
by
Donahoe, Edward

Description
|
|
Originally published in 1937, this was Donahoe's first novel, big with unrestrained vitality. He recreated the crudeness and power and evil that oil brought into the land; and in the mighty figure of Thomas McGraw he imaged all that was great, both good and bad, in the American builders of Empire. This loosely ficticious book so infuriated some of the leading families of Ponca City, Oklahoma, that they destroyed every copy of the book they possibly could; thus making it now very rare and quite valuable. John J. McGraw, great-grandson of the central character, has republished the book, replacing the vaguely disguised characters and other aspects with their actual models.
