    About this audiobook

    Published in 1936, this novel presents in epic scope the conflicts in the settling of the American Southwest. Set in New Mexico in the late 19th century, The Sea of Grass concerns the often violent clashes between the pioneering ranchers, whose cattle range freely through the vast sea of grass, and the farmers, or "nesters," who build fences and turn the sod. Against this background is set the triangle of rancher Colonel Jim Brewton, his unstable Eastern wife Lutie, and the ambitious Brice Chamberlain. Richter casts the story in Homeric terms, with the children caught up in the conflicts of their parents.

      it is nice to read a nice, concise lean novel that creates a very vivid setting with an informative story about a part of the world i;m unfamiliar with for a change....grand verbose epics are fine, but there is something very appealing to more minimalist works that actually get the job done....kudos to Richter....i enjoyed very much!!!
