Bookshelf: November 2026 Archives

While I have your attention:

I was asked recently if there were any books on early Oklahoma history I could recommend. Here are a few, some of which I've read only recently. The titles are hyperlinked to the publisher's website if still in print. Where available, I've included links to the Internet Archive's online lending library. Gardner's Books in Tulsa has a shelf of local history books, where I've acquired several of the items listed below. You may also find these in the Oklahoma Room at Tulsa Central Library for in-library use only. You may find these books for sale via AbeBooks or eBay.

This is certainly not a comprehensive list but simply the first books that came to mind, many of which I've read or reread recently, books that I've found enjoyable and informative.
