1889: The Boomer Movement, the Land Run, and Early Oklahoma City de Michael J. Hightower

1889: The Boomer Movement, the Land Run, and Early Oklahoma City

Autor Michael J. Hightower
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2018
The story of central Oklahoma is profoundly American, showing the region to have been a crucible for melding competing national interests and visions of the future. Boomers, businessmen, cattlemen, soldiers, politicians, pundits, and African and Native Americans squared off--sometimes peacefully, often not--in disagreements over public lands that would resonate in western history long after 1889.

Descriere

After immigrants flooded into central Oklahoma during the land rush of 1889, the city's residents adopted the slogan "born grown" to describe their new home. But the territory's creation was never so simple or straightforward. The real story, steeped in the politics of the Gilded Age, unfolds in 1889.
