Paperback. Condizione: New. The Wondrous Springs of Balmorhea focuses on the secrets at Balmorhea Civilian Conservation Corps camp in remote West Texas, part of Roosevelt's New Deal program in 1935. It is now 1976 and Sam McCabe, a lawyer who lives in South Texas, has just had his arm and shoulder amputated. In the twilight of his life, he remembers those pivotal years. He has strange, disturbing dreams about Darlene, the sultry nurse at the camp. The boys at Balmorhea pine for Darlene, but she is really Minnie, who assisted her husband, Dr. John Brinkley. Brinkley who promised greater male virility with goat testicle operations was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of men. Sam McCabe, company clerk to Commander Captain Bell, is privy to most of the intrigue at the camp. Captain Bell, a World War I veteran, an amputee with a disfigured face, cleverly sidesteps federal dictates about segregation to protect the African American cook, Devilfish, and his band, blues musicians from Deep Ellum. Sam's sidekick, E.O., the pious bookkeeper is running a gambling ring to fund his wedding plans while Jack, Sam's best friend from Sul Ross College, a Casanova, is having a torrid affair with Darlene. Meanwhile, Sam befriends Chueco, a Mexican American boy who has escaped a life of slavery at the mercury mine at Terlingua. Close to the big inauguration day for the pool, though, tragedy strikes.…

perfect. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
