# Tracy Wyatt — Cimarron character guide

> Tracy Wyatt in Cimarron by Edna Ferber.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mrs. Wyatt, Tracy, old Tracy Wyatt

**First appearance:** 0008-v

## Snapshot

The oil-rich Wyatt whose name glares white on thousands of black tank cars across the Southwest, and whose fortune reshapes the Cravat family's future.

## Who they are

Old Tracy Wyatt was nagged through his first marriage until he deserted it for a young and fascinating second wife, and the Wyatt money made the town forgive him. His oil tanks squat like grim Egyptian monoliths across Oklahoma, and his Versailles-sized mansion, with its English elms at fifteen hundred dollars apiece, dwarfs everything Sabra's newspaper has built. Through the Wyatt wealth, the novel tracks how the raw Territory hardens into empire, and how Sabra's children get pulled into a world of marble and electric cabinets she never wanted.
