There is probably not an Oklahoman or a visitor to Oklahoma who
hasn't wondered about the meaning or origin of the names of many of
the cities and towns and other landmarks. Those names mirror the
46th state's diverse culture and unique history. They sing with the
beauty of American Indian languages, reflect the hope or earthy
humor of early settlers, or ring with the energy of entrepreneurs.
In some instances, the record documenting the birth of an Oklahoma
place name no longer exists - if it ever did. In others, the
"official" version varies from local legend - or is greatly
enlivened by it Respected Oklahoma author Jim Etter examines both
history and folklore - and that intriguing blend of both - in this
work that results from his years as a journalist whose work has
taken him to hundreds of Oklahoma communities where he talked with
- and listened to - thousands of Oklahomans. The result is a book
that is both informative and entertaining and quintessentially
Oklahoman - part fact, part fiction and bigger and better than
either.
