Autorenporträt
The late Texan EDMUND PENDLETON VAN ZANDT JR. published The Iron Orchard under the pen name Tom Pendleton and described himself merely as "an old roustabout type who has retired from the oil patch to write about it." Van Zandt, a member of the prominent Fort Worth Van Zandt family, lived through many of the oil field experiences he described in this book.
