Charles Red Corn illuminates what the Osage people went through during the 1920s, when oil profits had made them fabulously wealthy and when they began to die under mysterious circumstances--systematically targeted for their money. This novel, exquisitely written and filled with revelations, will hold you in its grip and never let you go.\"--\u003cb\u003eDavid Grann\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Seller \u003ci\u003eKillers of the Flower Moon\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At the turn of the twentieth century, the Osage Indians owned Oklahoma's most valuable oil reserves and became members of the world's first wealthy oil population. Osage children and grandchildren continued to respect the old customs and ways, but now they also had lives of leisure: purchasing large homes, expensive cars, eating in fancy restaurants, and traveling to faraway places. In the 1920s, they also found themselves immersed in a series of murders. Charles H. Red Corn sets \u003ci\u003eA Pipe for February\u003c\/i\u003e against this turbulent, exhilarating background. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tracing the experiences of John Grayeagle, the story's main character, Red Corn describes the Osage murders from the perspective of a traditional Osage. Other books on the notorious crimes have focused on the greed of government officials and businessmen to increase their oil wealth. Red Corn focuses on the character of the Osage people, drawing on his own experiences and insights as a member of the Osage Nation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the new foreword, director Martin Scorsese reveals how reading\u003ci\u003e A Pipe for February\u003c\/i\u003e helped him better understand the Osage people and bring \u003ci\u003eKillers of the Flower Moon\u003c\/i\u003e to the screen. \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 284\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 8.42 x 5.46 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53053812375776,"sku":"9780806137261","price":30.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/F3g89ZFuYL9780806137261.webp?v=1781286735","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/a-pipe-for-february-a-novel-volume-44-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
