Buried in the red soil of the Oklahoma prairie is a stone statue of a striking young woman broken into a hundred pieces—a broken statue representing shattered lives and crushed dreams. The story of the statue is one of love, greed, power, and lost aspirations. The statue symbolizes what was and what could have been—a tale of a great oil empire betrayed, destroying the lives of the family who built it. The Broken Statue is an intriguing story based on the real-life legacy of the Marland Mansion and the statue still located within its walls. E.W. Marland’s spectacular rise to power and the tragic legend of Lydie Marland featured extraordinary characters representing opportunities and opportunities lost during the gilded age of the early oil industry.
