Book excerpt: THE OKLAHOMANS: THE STORY OF OKLAHOMA AND ITS PEOPLE, Vol. 1, won the national Will Rogers Medallion Award for Western literature. This thrillingly-awaited sequel chronicles Oklahoma history from statehood into the 2020s. Dr. James Caster, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Central Oklahoma, describes Vol. 2 as "Monumental...epic...hypnotically readable." Indeed, the drama in OKLAHOMANS 2 grows more intense, the inspiration more mighty about a people who are both hard and lovely, violent and tender, foolish and valorous, and a land of the second, third, sometimes last chance. Feast on more than 600 pages of page-turning drama from an author who is both an award-winning historical novelist and was a college history professor for 16 years, as well as 800 illustrations from Oklahoma's greatest artists and photographers. Feel the scalding flames of Greenwood, choke on the Dust Bowl, liberate Dachau with the Thunderbirds, brave the Pacific in search of freedom from Communism, feel the world shake as the Murrah Building collapses around you, and shield your students with your body as an F-5 blows down your school on you and them. OKLAHOMANS 2 also features a groundbreaking new literary bonus for students, teachers, and history buffs eager to dig deeper--more than 200 QR-coded biographical and narrative passages in which your smart device leads you directly to expanded, unabridged versions of them on our johnjdwyer.com website.

Also, like OKLAHOMANS 1, the new book will feature a comprehensive study guide for teachers and students. Dr. Bob Blackburn, longtime Executive Director of the Oklahoma Historical Society, called OKLAHOMANS 1, which chronicled ancient times through statehood, "The best book on Oklahoma History ever." Concerning the OKLAHOMANS series, he declared, "Every generation of Oklahomans needs their own recounting of Oklahoma history. This is ours. Well done."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Last One Walking written by Greg Shaw and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2024-11-19 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You probably know the story of the late Wilma Mankiller, the first woman to serve as principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. You might not recognize the name of her husband, Charlie Soap, yet his role as a Native community organizer is no less significant. Combining memoir, history, and current affairs, Last One Walking charts for the first time the life and work of this influential Cherokee. In telling this story, author and former journalist Greg Shaw gives voice to his sources. As a longtime colleague and friend of the family, he draws on his many travels and interviews with Soap and on previously unpublished writings, including a Soap family history penned by Mankiller, included here as the book’s prologue. Shaw offers a rich profile of Soap’s singular career—particularly as a champion of water rights. In managing public infrastructure projects, housing assistance, and water development in the Cherokee Nation, Soap has exemplified ga-du-gi, the Cherokee word for community members working together for the collective good. Shaw portrays a dynamic partnership between Soap and Mankiller. Together they reignited community development for the Cherokee people by listening to everyone, including the poorest of the poor, and hearing their pleas for reliable water, a basic human need and a sacred element in Cherokee culture. Charlie Soap’s name in Cherokee, Ohni ai (ᎣᏂ ᎠᎢ), translates as “the last one walking.” In the Cherokee wolf clan, this is the member who trails the rest of the pack to watch for danger and opportunity. The last one walking forms a bond of trust with the pack’s leader. The Native American fight for land has been well chronicled, but the fight for water has not. Last One Walking helps to fill that void with a narrative that is also deeply moving, revealing on every page the spirit of ga-du-gi.

Book Synopsis Main Street Oklahoma by : Linda W. Reese
Download or read book Main Street Oklahoma written by Linda W. Reese and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oklahoma historian Angie Debo once observed that all the forces of United States history have come to bear in the development of the Sooner State. This collection of essays provides a series of snapshots reflecting both the singularity of the Oklahoma experience and the state’s connections to America’s broader history. Spanning the Civil War era and the present, this book develops historic themes as varied as the causes of Indian land dispossession, the Statehood Day wedding ceremony, the oil industry’s environmental impact, the Tulsa Race Riot, labor relations during the New Deal, the failure of the Equal Rights Amendment, the state’s unique Native artistic traditions, and its musical landscape. Oklahomans have always represented multiple races and cultures, lived in big cities or small towns or on farms, and promoted prosperity and cultural achievement while battling poverty and ignorance. The American Main Street has been the site not only of the best principles of community spirit and traditional values but also of shocking cases of prejudice and violence. Rather than shrinking from difficult subjects, Main Street Oklahoma describes the state’s abundant human, natural, and cultural resources, paying tribute to the true grit of Oklahomans, but also exploring some of the more troubling moments in Oklahoma’s past. The editors and contributors provide engaging perspectives on the state’s rich and diverse history.
