The Wild Earth's Nobility is the first of Frank Waters's
semiautobiographical novels in the Pikes Peak saga. Here, in a
frontier town in the shadow of the commanding mountain, the Rogier
family settles near an age-old route of migrating Native Americans.
In an era of prospecting, silver strikes, and frenzied mining,
Joseph Rogier becomes a successful building contractor, rears a
large family, and is gradually overwhelmed by the power of the
great peak.
In Waters's visionary prose, the story becomes a mythic journey to
reconcile instinct and reason, consciousness and intuition, and the
powerful emotions of a family struggling with its own dreams and
human limitations.
Frank Waters (1902-1995), one of the finest chroniclers of the
American Southwest, wrote twenty-eight works of fiction and
nonfiction. Of Pike's Peak (1971), the Chicago Daily News wrote, It
is a product of maturity, written with a sustained strength and
beauty of style rarely found in fiction today.
Pike's Peak is composed of three condensed novels: The Wild Earth's
Nobility, Below Grass Roots, and The Dust within the Rock.
