Don Ford, critically acclaimed author of "Contrabando: Confessions of a Drug-Smuggling Texas Cowboy," rancher, farmer and the son of an oil man, planted an acre's worth of land without the use of oil-related tools or devices. While working the soil with bare hands and crude instruments, suffering through the heat of a Texas drought, basic truths and bits of wisdom arose. This is a book about life, love, politics, addiction in all its forms. It's a book about nature, about horses and cattle, about farming and philosophy. Above all this is a book about our society and its future while dependent upon a resource that has reached its peak and will soon go into decline.
