The story opens when war-orphaned Travis Scurlock wanders into the new settlement on the bluff overlooking the Trinity River. Within a few years, Scurlock is a well-known trial lawyer. He marries, has a family, helps transform Fort Worth from a sleepy village to a busy commercial center, and serves as a U.S. Senator. But Scurlock has a dark side that brings complexity to these pages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe follow generations of Scurlocks, the admirable and the less than admirable, as they shepherd the family fortunes through the Civil War, World War I, the oil boom, and World War II. This is often the story of ruthless, fiercely ambitious men, of betrayal and tragedy, but it is also a story of strength and achievement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFort Worth\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich novel for a city with a rich heritage. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published in 1984 by Delacorte Press.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFort Worth novelist Leonard Sanders is the author of \u003ci\u003eSonoma, The Hamlet Warning, Texas Noon\u003c\/i\u003e (sequel to \u003ci\u003eFort Worth\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eThe Wooden Horseshoe\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHow Fort Worth Became the \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eTexasmost\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e City\u003c\/i\u003e (both reprinted by TCU Press), and several other novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 512\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.52 x 9 x 6.12 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 24, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42156979191943,"sku":"9780875653136","price":19.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/1ee58a2062e094963fae4f60d517195b.webp?v=1733247776","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/fort-worth-volume-37-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
