Description



Book Synopsis



A womanizing US president. Gin-drinking, poker-playing, skirt-chasing Cabinet members. And a plot from the inside to usurp control of the Navy's oil reserves. Wild and juicy stuff this. And all of it a true chapter of America's history.

There may not be another US scandal that is so heavy with corruption and criminality yet weighs so lightly on our collective consciousness as the Teapot Dome Scandal. From 1920 to 1922, power-hungry politicians and corporate tycoons boldly schemed to usurp the nation's burgeoning resource. In so doing, these crooks put a huge black mark on the plucky pioneering work of those who gave birth to Wyoming's incredible bonanza.

With a deft researcher's hand and the heart and attention of a creative writer, Constance Bierkan has written a first-of-its-kind fictionalized recounting of what led up to this nearly forgotten nugget from the past, the Teapot Dome Scandal. Like No Place on Earth is a spirited coming-of-age story set in Wyoming at the start of the madcap Roaring Twenties and right after the birth of the oil industry. As much a love story as it is a historical deep-dive, Like No Place on Earth will be irresistible to book clubs and history buffs alike.
