Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This work presents Tulsa, Oklahoma, as a microcosm of the United States, and indeed, their histories are remarkably similar. First inhabited by displaced Native Americans, the city was soon flourishing, thanks to a railroad station and good conditions for cattle ranching. Then the discovery of oil led to an explosion of wealth and inhabitants, which helped the city grow to what it is today. All of this and more is painstakingly described by Goble, director of American Studies at Rogers University and the author of five previous works on the history of Oklahoma. Goble includes various tidbits and stories about some of Tulsa's interesting characters, which personalizes the history but makes the text a bit disjointed. Overall, the book is well researched and thorough, and it includes an excellent array of black-and-white photographs from the Tulsa County Historical Society. Not light reading, it would be of interest to history buffs and academics, and is recommended for U.S. history collections.?Kathleen A. Shanahan, American Univ. Lib., Washington, D.C.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book by a great Oklahoma historian
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2018
I also had the opportunity of taking Dr Goble's history class at what was then, Tulsa Junior College. Dr. Goble was a gifted orator and teacher. He was also a gifted writer, nominated for a Politzer for his biography of Congressman Carl Albert. If you have an interest in Oklahoma history, don't pass this book up. It's engaging, easy to follow, informative and very entertaining.

Not bad for a general reference, but very few maps. Touches on the obvious sights to visit, but no real depth.
