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.
