Synopsis

Oklahoma s incredible story is the most colorful and intriguing of any of the histories of the states of Union. From unique land runs, the Trail of Tears, and the discovery of oil to amazing inventions, incredible athletic performances, and the development of leaders in commerce and government, Oklahomans have excelled in whatever feat they have attempted. A Year in the Life of Oklahoma is the story of Oklahoma told in a unique way by remembering one significant event that occurred on each day of the year, from January 1 to December 31. The story of Oklahoma is not about places and events...it is about our people, strong, courageous, and innovative men and women who have made the world about them a better and safer place to live.
