Fred Grove aka Frederick Herridge (1913-2008) was journalist, teacher and public relations executive who became a five-time Spur Award winning author of many acclaimed western novels. His honors include two Western Heritage Wrangler Awards from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and The Western Writers of America Levi Strauss Golden Saddleman Award for Lifetime Achievement in Western literature.
A bold, brawling story of three strong women and the men who tried to tame them, and their oil-rich land, during the desperate rush for black gold in roaring 1920s Oklahoma...and the shocking violence wrought by raw lust and naked greed.
Originally published in 1958, Flame of the Osage is inspired by the same bloody, historical events that would be depicted, over sixty years later, to great acclaim in the book and movie Killers of the Flower Moon.
