In 1890, the University of Oklahoma Press published a ten-book
series titled Newcomers to a New Land that described and analyzed
the role of the major ethnic groups that have contributed to the
history of Oklahoma. The series was part of Oklahoma Image, a
project sponsored by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries and the
Oklahoma Library Association and made possible by a grant from the
National Endowment for the Humanities.
In response to numerous requests, the University of Oklahoma
Press has reissued all ten volumes in the series. Published
unaltered from the original editions, these books continue to have
both historical and cultural value for reasons the series editorial
committee stated as well.
"Though not large in number as compared to those in some states,
immigrants from various European nations left a marked impact on
Oklahoma's history. As in the larger United States, they worked in
many economic and social roles that enriched the state's life.
Indians have played a crucial part in Oklahoma's history, even to
giving the state her name. Blacks and Mexicans have also fulfilled
a special set of roles, and will continue to affect Oklahoma's
future. The history of each of these groups is unique, well worth
remembering to both their heirs and to other people in the state
and nation. Their stories come from the past, but continue on the
future."
