Book Synopsis What a Dirty Shame! by : Jim Marion Etter
Download or read book What a Dirty Shame! written by Jim Marion Etter and published by . This book was released on 2009-12-29 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is probably not an Oklahoman or a visitor to Oklahoma who hasn't wondered about the meaning or origin of the names of many of the cities and towns and other landmarks. Those names mirror the 46th state's diverse culture and unique history. They sing with the beauty of American Indian languages, reflect the hope or earthy humor of early settlers, or ring with the energy of entrepreneurs. In some instances, the record documenting the birth of an Oklahoma place name no longer exists - if it ever did. In others, the "official" version varies from local legend - or is greatly enlivened by it! Respected Oklahoma author Jim Etter examines both history and folklore - and that intriguing blend of both - in this work that results from his years as a journalist whose work has taken him to hundreds of Oklahoma communities where he talked with - and listened to - thousands of Oklahomans. The result is a book that is both informative and entertaining and quintessentially Oklahoman - part fact, part fiction and bigger and better than either.

Book Synopsis Haunted Shawnee, Oklahoma by : Tanya McCoy and Jeff Provine
Download or read book Haunted Shawnee, Oklahoma written by Tanya McCoy and Jeff Provine and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Home to numerous tribal reservations that survived the land run that swept around them, Shawnee stands at an intersection of worlds. For travelers of the Wild West, crossing over into Oklahoma Territory meant more than crossing a state line. "Stop for twenty minutes and see a man killed," stagecoach drivers warned visitors to Shawnee's treacherous saloons. The oil boom of the 1920s brought a wave of wealth that only encouraged nefarious activity. Shawnee's quiet present may belie its fevered past, but the spirits of former gunslingers, prostitutes and everyday folk still live on. From strange sounds at the old Sacred Heart Mission to specters roaming the halls of the luxurious Aldridge Hotel, Tanya McCoy and Jeff Provine provide an introduction to Shawnee's haunted past.

Download or read book Dreams to Dust written by Sheldon Russell and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a fateful day in 1889, the Oklahoma land rush begins, and for thousands of settlers the future is up for grabs. One of those people is Creed McReynolds, fresh from the East with a lawyer’s education and a head full of aspirations. The mixed-blood son of a Kiowa mother and a U.S. Cavalry doctor, Creed lands in Guthrie station, the designated Territorial Capital, where he must prove that he is more than the half-blood kid once driven from his own land. In recounting the precipitous rise and catastrophic fall of the jerrybuilt city of Guthrie, author Sheldon Russell immerses us in the lives of Creed and other memorable characters whose ambitions echo the taming of the frontier—and whose fates hold lessons as important today as they were more than a hundred years ago. Among the people McReynolds must contend with is Abaddon Damon. A ruthless newspaper publisher, Abaddon is quick to strike any bargain that will bring him the power he craves, and like many others, Creed McReynolds is swept into his whirlwind of greed and deception. Creed becomes the wealthiest man in the Territory—but at an unbearable cost to himself, the dreams of others, and the dignity of his mother’s people. Dreams to Dust takes readers back to the early days of Oklahoma Territory—a sometimes dangerous place filled with nefarious dealings, where violence lurks behind even casual encounters—to tell the story of frontier men and women gambling everything to find their fortune on the windswept southern plains.
