"Jack charged yesterday attempted murder first degree-stop-can't hold the fort much longer-stop-come on home to Marlboro country-your sister" This telegram calls Sam Houston Walker from Zambia back to his home in Skull Creek, Wyoming, and to the family whose madness he thought he'd left behind. That his brother Jack has nearly bludgeoned an oilman to death is only the most dramatic example of the family's hatred of the new West, one that is destroying the world that made him rich and powerful.
