Oklahoma has an excellent photographic record, largely because the
twin territories developed along the same general timeline as
modern photography itself. Historic Photos of
Oklahoma is not an illustrated history of Oklahoma, nor is it
an attempt at a visual chronology of the state. Rather, the
photographs included here tell the story of this diverse group of
people called Oklahomans as witnessed in their faces, the homes
they cherished, and the streets they traveled. Just as viewing a
succession of school photos reveals the periods of beauty and
awkwardness, innocence and maturity, and hardship and joy in a
child’s life, the reader of this book will see the tragedy of
Indian removal, the exuberance of land runs, the shame of
segregation, the anguish of the Depression, and the optimism for
the future in Oklahoma. In between are glimpses of how we used to
live, work, and play in the forty-sixth state of the Union.
