Flame of the Osage By

Flame of the Osage 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.
