Books by Christopher Knowlton

Christopher Knowlton is an American journalist and author who spent many years working for Fortune magazine before writing books on financial and cultural history. He is also the author of Cattle Kingdom: The Hidden History of the Cowboy West, a history of the cattle industry and the open-range era. Bubble in the Sun was the product of several years of research into the Florida land boom, drawing on newspaper archives, court records, and the papers of the major developers involved. Knowlton grew up in the northeastern United States and brings an outsider's perspective on Florida's recurring relationship with speculative excess.
