Oklahoma has a famously violent past and equally famous lawmen who
brought peace and order to this once lawless land. Thanks to
Oklahoma’s relative youth the exploits of many of these lawmen
were caught on camera. Historic Photos of Oklahoma
Lawmen presents the many faces and phases of law enforcement
in Oklahoma throughout its early history up through the 1950s.
Inside are images of the Five Civilized Tribes’ brave Light
Horsemen, the scouts and Dog Soldiers of the West, and the federal
marshals who ranged Indian Territory in service to the court of
Fort Smith’s "hangin’ judge” Isaac Parker. Here, too, are the
state’s earliest municipal policemen and county sheriffs who
arrived to protect and defend the state’s cities and boom towns.
