    In the aftermath of the Creek County fires—during another triple-digit stretch in an already parched Oklahoma—This Land contributing editor Sheilah Bright went to work.

    Lone Man’s Land takes viewers on a visual road trip to Kenton, Oklahoma, population 20, and follows the Apple family through a decade of hardship including 2014 when a family crisis creates a major change.
