Wayfaring Stranger is a novel written by Burl Ives, an American author and folk singer. The book is a historical fiction set in the early 20th century, and it follows the life of Weldon Holland, a young man from Texas who witnesses the horrors of World War II and returns home to start a new life. As Weldon grows up, he becomes friends with a wealthy oilman, and he falls in love with his daughter, Rosita. However, their relationship is complicated by the racial tensions of the time, as Rosita is Mexican-American. After serving in the war, Weldon returns home and starts working in the oil industry, where he becomes embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy involving corrupt politicians and businessmen. Along the way, he must confront his own demons and make difficult choices about his loyalty and morality. Wayfaring Stranger is a sweeping epic that spans decades and explores themes of love, loss, and the American Dream. With its vivid characters and richly detailed setting, it is a powerful and moving story that will stay with readers long after they have turned the final page.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
