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.

Nice update from the first release in 1992

Nice update from the first release in 1992. I use this book as a text to teach Oklahoma History. I find it well laid out and the format makes it easy for students to understand and get a sense of events in chronological order.

Be careful when you buy this book...

I purchased this book and received an the older edition. If you check the ISBNs that is what this listing is selling, however the picture is for the newer edition. The descriptions of the two basically match because they are just different editions. When you go to the item page showing the older cover you get the newer edition. When you read descriptions for used books under both listings you will find that many sellers are listing which edition by copyright date. The cover with the Powwow dancer is the 1994 edition and the cover with the statue is the 2006 edition. Please note that the listings change as well and you will not get a refund if it changes on you during the time you wait for the book. I have bought many used books from Amazon but will be far less likely to do so in the future. Customer service for the vender was prompt and helpful but I'm not willing to pay shipping and a restocking fee on a used book.

Live in Oklahoma but it has been many years since I took Oklahoma History in school. Wanted to review Indian tribes and history. This book was perfect.

This is a college text.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2006

Which is why it doesn't have the chapter reviews and worksheets that high school students are used to. Dr. Goble uses simple words for complex topics so it meets the reading level requirements for high schools and has been adopted by many. If the students are bored by the material, it's due to the lack of skill of the teachers creating the assignments and not the quality of the book.

Good Study of Oklahoma's Turbulent History

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2000

I was really surprised that I turned out to like this book. It was the required reading text for a section of Oklahoma history I took in college last semester and though I am majoring in history, I expected it to be a really boring, sugar-coated synopsis. When I thumbed through the first few pages, I was disappointed to see that it was written more for high school level history (which is rarely if ever in-depth enough) but after I read more, I was impressed. Baird and Goble are not afraid to speak about Oklahoma's embarrassing moments--i.e. the disenfranchisement of African Americans after statehood, the common declaration of martial law, the support of socialism, the Tulsa Race Riot, the election of a certifiable lunatic to Congress, etc. I learned much more from this text (and the college class of course) than I had ever imagined and I would highly recommend it for teachers and for anyone seriously interested in learning more about Oklahoma.
