This book recounts the birth and growth of Oklahoma, from its indigenous roots as home of the Five Civilized Tribes to its position today as a complex tapestry of societies, cultures, and industries. From the formation of the Indian Territory that long stood as a physical and societal barrier to settlement by outsiders, the establishment of arable farming, the discovery of the Dust Bowl and subsequent creation of the Shelter Belt, the oil runs that transformed the economy, and constant in-migration, the author traces causes and effects and narrates the struggles of social and economic change that brought Oklahoma into and through the present day. Insightful and comprehensive, this book ties Oklahomans and their heritage to the wider story of American development, revealing the challenges and opportunities that shaped this unique territory, and how they continue to define the state's identity.
