Oklahoma has an excellent photographic record, largely because the
history of the twin territories unfolded along the same general
timeline as modern photography itself. With a selection of fine
historic images from his best-selling book Historic Photos of
Oklahoma, Larry Johnson provides a valuable and revealing
historical retrospective on the growth and development of the
state. 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 state at its best and less than best, with glimpses in
between of how we used to live, work, and play in the forty-sixth
state of the Union. Remembering 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.
