Appetite for America

 
“Part business story, part social history, part family saga, Appetite for America gives us the winning of the West in a whole new mouthwatering way.” — Hampton Sides, author of Blood and Thunder
 
“Appetite for America is the kind of superb non-fiction you don’t see anymore—marvelously reported, fluidly written and a remarkable story about a remarkable man who influenced American culture perhaps more than anyone alive past or present. Today he is a footnote, but Stephen Fried brings him alive in a true story as brilliant as it is meticulous as it is compulsively readable.” — Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights
