Beyond the Hills The Journey of Waite Phillips [signed]

1995 Oklahoma Heritage Association trade paperback, Michael Wallis (Route 66: The Mother Road 75th Anniversary Edition). Waite Phillips and his identical twin Wiate were born toan Iowa farm family in 1883. Sixteen years later the twins left home together to seek their fortunes in the west-but only one boy returned.Carrying the lost brother always in memory, Waite Phillips went on to a lifetime of adventures, played out on the raw, new oilfields of 1920s Oklahoma, the boardrooms of fledgling companies, and the hills of New Mexico ranchland he loved. As an oil man and philanthropist, his impact is still felt widely. Phillips was a man of conscience and honor, he was a builder and a family man, but he was also a wanderer and a gambler whose eyes were always on the farther hill. This is his story. - Amazon
