The End of Country by Seamus McGraw (New York: Random House, 2011)

Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, in the northeastern part of the state was a rural agricultural area until the Marcellus Shale development began to change that. A native of the area, McGraw tells the story of the conflict that ensued between corporate America and a band of local land owners who wanted their fair share of the windfalls while preserving their way of life.
