Acres
of Aspiration: The All Black Towns in Oklahoma
by Hannibal B. Johnson
Beulah Land. Paradise. Shangri-la. Oklahoma seemed to be all of these
in the hostile, racist, post–Civil War South. Seeking both refuge and respect,
pioneers such as Edward P. McCabe championed the idea of Oklahoma as an
all-Black state. And all-Black towns proliferated there. Some sixty all-Black
towns, along with Tulsa's Greenwood District, bear witness to the deep
creativity and incredible human spirit of the people who built them.

The
Burning : Massacre, Destruction, and the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921
by Tim Madigan
On the morning of June 1, 1921, a white mob numbering in the thousands
marched across the railroad tracks dividing black from white in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, and obliterated a black community then celebrated as one of America's
most prosperous. 34 square blocks of Tulsa's Greenwood community, known
then as the Negro Wall Street of America, were reduced to smoldering rubble.
And now, 80 years later, the death toll of what is known as the Tulsa
Race Riot is more difficult to pinpoint. Conservative estimates put the
number of dead at about 100 (75% of the victims are believed to have been
black), but the actual number of casualties could be triple that. The Tulsa
Race Riot Commission, formed two years ago to determine exactly what happened,
has recommended that restitution to the historic Greenwood Community would
be good public policy and do much to repair the emotional as well as physical
scars of this most terrible incident in our shared past.
With chilling details, humanity, and the narrative thrust of compelling
fiction, The Burning will recreate the town of Greenwood at the height
of its prosperity, explore the currents of hatred, racism, and mistrust
between its black residents and neighboring Tulsa's white population, narrate
events leading up to and including Greenwood's annihilation, and document
the subsequent silence that surrounded the tragedy.

Historical
Atlas of Oklahoma
by John W. Morris, et al
The Historical Atlas of Oklahoma has been an indispensable reference
for longer than four decades. Issued on the eve of the Oklahoma Centennial,
this fourth edition of the atlas is much more than an updated version.
Oklahoma authors Charles Robert Goins and Danney Goble are joined by seventeen
contributing scholars (including natural and physical scientists) and other
professionals to present 119 topics. To explore each, one or more maps
with explanatory legends, tables, and graphs are paired with an interpretive
essay. Created by cartographer James H. Anderson, more than 170 new maps--in
full color--chart Oklahoma's rich and varied history and current population
trends. Like earlier editions, the atlas describes Oklahoma's landforms
and natural resources and traces the state's geographic history from the
earliest hunter-gatherer bands to today's mostly urban inhabitants. New
to this edition are maps exploring additional aspects of the state's economy
and its diverse society, politics, and culture, such as black history,
women's experiences, and the musicians, writers, and other artists identified
with the state. Reflecting the most up-to-date information as of 2005 from
the U.S. Census Bureau and other sources, this new edition of the Historical
Atlas of Oklahoma will be an invaluable resource for scholars, teachers,
students, and any reader who wants to know more about the history of Oklahoma.

Wiley
G. Haines : Frontier U.S. Deputy Marshal
by J. D. Haines
For nearly thirty years, Wiley G. Haines held a commission as a U.S.
deputy marshal in the Twin Territories, one of the most challenging posts
in the nation. Haines protected the territories’ people and also the land
from exploitation. He was fluent in the Osage language and a trusted friend
of the tribe, known as the “Peacemaker of the Osage.” Unlike legendary
lawmen Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Wild Bill Hickok, Haines was a career
lawman. He was one of the most successful criminal officers in Oklahoma.
It is difficult for us to imagine today the routine hardships and challenges
Haines faced on a daily basis. Whether riding on horseback through the
snow in bitter cold in pursuit of an outlaw or facing the deadly gunfire
of desperadoes, Haines had to be prepared for anything. He was one of the
last iron men, whose epitaph reads, “An Honest Man’s the Noblest Work of
God.” The Wiley Haines story is an exciting page from the history of Oklahoma’s
wild and woolly days.
