Plot Summary for 
The Winning of Barbara Worth

Jefferson Worth finds an orphaned child in the desert and raises her as his 
daughter, Barbara. When grown, Barbara is beloved by Abe Lee, the foreman of 
her father's ranch and company. When a rich land developer arrives with plans to 
irrigate the desert, Worth joins forces with him. The developer's foster son, 
Willard, falls for Barbara and a rivalry develops between him and Abe. The 
river is dammed, but the developer swindles the ranchers and refuses to 
reinforce the weakening dam, as he no longer needs it. An angry mob turns on Worth, 
Willard and Abe come near confrontation over Barbara, and all the time, that dam 
is getting weaker....

It's a real page turner.  Goes really fast.

Of course there's always Stephen King or Edward Gibbon....
