Conrad Richter se ve své lyrické próze zaměřuje na život na americké hranici v různých obdobích. Jeho díla zachycují drsnost i krásu tohoto prostředí a zkoumají téma osídlování a vztah člověka k zemi. Richterův styl je známý svou poetickou kvalitou a hlubokým vhledem do psychologie postav.
But when the tribe signs a treaty that requires them to return their white captives, 15-year-old True Son is returned against his will to the family he had long forgotten, and to a life that he no longer understands or desires.
Set in New Mexico in the late 19th century, the story concerns the clash between rich ranchers, whose cattle range freely through the vast sea of grass, and the farmers, or "nesters," who build fences and turn the sod. It is an epic depiction of the end of the cowboy era in the American Southwest.
