Book Description
Sometimes your own child can become your worst enemy. That's what happens when John Warren's lawyer son has him ruled mentally incompetent, takes everything he owns and then plans to send him to a senior citizen's home. Warren leaves his son's Tulsa home in a snowstorm, seeking only to visit the healing waters of Hot Springs, Arkansas - a place he remembers as the "Magic Fountain" - before he dies. He soon meets Attie Johnson, an attractive Native American woman on her way to play Indian bingo at Red Rock, Oklahoma. The two escape together and the publicity this generates transforms them in the media's eye into modern-day Bonnie and Clydes. They play bingo and fall in love in the process. Along the way, they find the real "Magic Fountain" in the rugged Ouachita Mountains of western Arkansas. Prairie Sunset is a haunting tale you won't soon forget.

Book Description
Americans in ever increasing numbers are rediscovering the prairie. This vast inland sea of grasses, buried for a hundred years beneath farms, cities, and suburbs, has endured not only in physical remnants but also in the memories of its settlers and their descendants, the books of prairie authors, and the work of prairie artists. As restoration ecologists and amateur prairie preservationists recover the land, this book recovers the prairie of the American imagination--past, present, and future. Beautifully illustrated with the work of sixteen contemporary prairie artists, Recovering the Prairie celebrates and examines the perspectives of artists, writers, native peoples, ecologists, and landscape architects--Willa Cather, Aldo Leopold, Jens Jensen, Alexander Gardner, and many others--who recognized the unique beauty of the prairie. And, this volume brings together people from many fields to consider the connections between aesthetics and economics, landscape and culture, politics and ethics, as illustrated by the prairie in American civilization.
