The boss, completely exhausted himself, lost his temper, and gave the boy the roughest tongue lashing he had ever had. Fred said he can never forget the picture of abject misery this boy made as he stood, the rain running off his flop hat, his face distorted with anger and hurt, his tears as copious as the rain. When the boss was out of earshot, he made a futile gesture of despair, and said, “Dammit, Fred, if I knew the way home, I’d quit.” So would many an author. BUT IF ONE PERSISTS, both goats and books can be deliv ered. Since The Texas Rangers was the only book about Texas that appeared in 1935, Paramount bought it for the Texas Centennial picture of 1936. Paramount made full use of the title, and little else. The picture was quite successful. I am not going to tell you what I got for it in the midst of the depression, but I will say this: what I got made the depression more tolerable. My next adventure, Divided We Stand, published in 1937, guaranteed that I would never be called to a Northern university. I knew this when I wrote it, but I was doing pretty well where I was. The book has been called a pamphlet, a philippic, and a good many other things. Because the people could read it and did, it was not objective. It was based on the simple device of dividing the country into three sections, the North, the South, and the West, and examining the distribution of the national wealth among them. It explained how, after the Civil War, the North, directed by the Republican party, seized economic control of the nation and maintained it through corporate monopoly …. The book in original form trod on the toes of a powerful monopoly of patents, and it in turn trod on my publisher, leading to expurgation in galley of all reference to this company and to its product, glass bottles. The book was quickly declared out of print on the ground that it did not sell …. Though declared out of print, the book would not die. The federal investigation of the Hartford Empire company put all the records in the public domain. From these records I told the whole story and published the revised book myself. It is now in the fourth edition, has sold 15,000 copies, and is still in print …. The story of my fourth adventure in history is told in The Great Frontier, published in. 1952. It, like The Great Plains, is based on a single idea, best expressed in the question: What effect did all the new lands discovered by Columbus and his associates around 1600 have on Western Civilization during the following 450 years? What happened to 10,000,000 people shut up in the wedge of west ern Eurasia when they suddenly acquired title to six times the amount of land they had before, fresh land, thinly tenanted, loaded with resources too great to be comprehended? What did all this wealth and the act of appropriating it do to and for the 10,000,000 poverty-stricken people of Western. Europe and their descendants? Slowly the thesis emerged, the boom hypothesis, around which the story was to be told …. The journey through the Great Frontier was a mental adventure of the first magnitude. Many splendid vistas opened, and many things that were familiar took on new meaning. It was lonely there; many times I did not know which way to go, and I, like the boy driving the goats, would have been glad to go home. As I look back on this program of work, I see in the four books a r ecord of a mental adventure into an expanding world.
