The life and times of Ernest Whitworth Marland, whose flyer to fortune in the ??20's epitomized those last years of unlimited opportunity, and whose decline personalized the end of the age of freedom- as well as the many tensions that went with it. Born with wealth and trained as a lawyer, Marland drifted into oil in Pittsburgh, then went west as a young man where be struck oil in Oklahoma, soon extended his empire to vast; proportions. Driven by pride and self-interest, a love of bigness as well as an understanding of the little man, a materialistic conception of happiness- which was fulfilled, Marland became one of the big oil producers, and when he lost most of his money and control, spent a few of his last years as a Congressman and as governor of Oklahoma.....There's little of the speculative fever of the big plunge here, for what is essentially an impersonal, professional biography of financial enterprise. Beyond the regional, the market looks limited. (Kirkus Reviews)
