Description: "This collaborative work is an ode to our 46th state, to its stereotypes and surprises. Oklahoma is exactly as expected. And not. It is an old place, shaped by millennia of wind and rain and sun. Yet it is still a young and raw and forming territory, a mosaic that morphed into a state just 100 years ago." "From the Native Americans who roamed the Plains with the buffalo to the cowboys who came with the cattle, from the oil barons to the outlaws, the settlers and the Sooners, the proud African Americans who believed this was going to be their Paradise Found, and all the others who came from all directions to make a new life in this territory, all together form the very center of the U.S."--BOOK JACKET.
