The Time It Never Rained,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Time It Never Rained was inspired by actual events, when the longest and most severe drought in living memory pressed ranchers and farmers to the outer limits of courage and endurance.'Elmer KeltonRio Seco was too small to afford a professional manager for its oneroom Chamber of Commerce.And Rio Seco, meaning 'dry river' in Spanish, symbolizes the biggest enemy of the ranchers and farmers in 1950s Texas, an enemy they can't control: drought. To cranky Charlie Flagg, an honest, decent rancher, the drought of the early 1950s is a battle that he must fight on his own grounds. Refusing the questionable 'assistance' of federal aid programs and their bureaucratic regulations, Charlie and his family struggle to make the ranch survive until the time it rains againif it ever rains again.Charlie Flagg, among the strongest of Elmer Kelton's memorable creations, is no pasteboard hero. He is courageous and selfsufficient but as real as his harsh and unforgiving West Texas home country. His battle with an unfathomable foe is the stuff of epics and legends.
