In general, the articles deal with significant events: the wars, from the Civil War to Vietnam, the land runs, the coming of the railroads, statehood, oil booms, the depression. But unlike most histories, these are the personal stories of the people who were there, reports primarily concerned with how historical events affected individual lives. The subject matter is wide-ranging: from the bleakness of the Dust Bowl to the opulence of the Skirvin Hotel lobby; from a glimpse of growing up in the Choctaw Nation to the life of a pioneer newspaperwoman; from the rowdy boosterism of a small-town baseball team to the hard-bitten realism of an oil boom cook; from the wild excitement of a land opening to the lonely isolation of a prisoner-of-war cell. In this volume twenty-seven observers - men and women, young and old, black, white, and red - bring us a poignant, many-angled view of Oklahoma as they pause to leave a record of the way it was with them. The result is a unique reference work for the student and the historian and an irresistible bedside reader for everyone.
