Beskrivelse

Dive into the gripping tale of Frank Norriss 1901 novel, The Octopus A Story of California, inspired by the real-life Mussel Slough Tragedy of 1880. This powerful narrative chronicles the violent clash between determined ranchers and the agents of the Southern Pacific Railroad over land ownership. After nearly a decade of leasing the ranches with hopes of purchasing them, the farmers found themselves in a desperate battle when the railroad sought to reclaim the land at inflated prices. Norris vividly portrays the ranchers struggle for survival and justice in this compelling story of conflict and resilience. (Summary by Wikipedia and Delmar H. Dolbier)
