Pages : 361
Book Description
The product of two of Oklahoma’s foremost authorities on the history of the 46th state, Oklahoma: A History is the first comprehensive narrative to bring the story of the Sooner State to the threshold of its centennial. From the tectonic formation of Oklahoma’s varied landscape to the recovery and renewal following the Oklahoma City bombing, this readable book includes both the well-known and the not-so-familiar of the state’s people, events, and places. W. David Baird and Danney Goble offer fresh perspectives on such widely recognized history makers as Sequoyah, the 1889 Land Run, and the Glenn Pool oil strike. But they also give due attention to Black Seminole John Horse, Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Coach Bertha Frank Teague’s 40-year winning streak with the Byng Lady Pirates, and other lesser-known but equally important milestones. The result is a rousing, often surprising, and ever-fascinating story. Oklahoma history is an intricate tapestry of themes, stories, and perspectives, including those of the state’s diverse population of American Indians, the land’s original human occupants. An appendix provides suggestions for trips to Oklahoma’s historic places and for further reading. Enhanced by more than 40 illustrations, including 11 maps, this definitive history of the state ensures that experiences shared by Oklahomans of the past will be passed on to future generations.

Campbell, custodian of the Oklahoma Historical Society, and to Professors J. S. Buchanan and Roy L. Gittinger, of the Department of History in the University of Oklahoma, with all of whom the writer has had occasion to consult more or less frequently. Most of the advisory editors have also been laid under tribute for similar assistance and all have readily responded, including the two worthy pioneers - Hon. Neal Evans, of El Reno, and Hon. Z. T. Walrond, of Muskogee - both of whom died after the work was well under way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
