"A Thousand ___" (1992 Pulitzer winner) (5)

I believe the answer is:

acres

(Other definitions for acres that I've seen before include "large area of land" , "Scare (anag)" , "may burden landed folk" , "Rival played" , "Imperial units or measures of land" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
