This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE OKLAHOMANS: THE STORY OF OKLAHOMA AND ITS PEOPLE, Vol. 1, won the national Will Rogers Medallion Award for Western literature. This thrillingly-awaited sequel chronicles Oklahoma history from statehood into the 2020s. Dr. James Caster, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Central Oklahoma, describes Vol. 2 as "Monumental...epic...hypnotically readable." Indeed, the drama in OKLAHOMANS 2 grows more intense, the inspiration more mighty about a people who are both hard and lovely, violent and tender, foolish and valorous, and a land of the second, third, sometimes last chance. Feast on more than 600 pages of page-turning drama from an author who is both an award-winning historical novelist and was a college history professor for 16 years, as well as 800 illustrations from Oklahoma's greatest artists and photographers. Feel the scalding flames of Greenwood, choke on the Dust Bowl, liberate Dachau with the Thunderbirds, brave the Pacific in search of freedom from Communism, feel the world shake as the Murrah Building collapses around you, and shield your students with your body as an F-5 blows down your school on you and them. OKLAHOMANS 2 also features a groundbreaking new literary bonus for students, teachers, and history buffs eager to dig deeper--more than 200 QR-coded biographical and narrative passages in which your smart device leads you directly to expanded, unabridged versions of them on our johnjdwyer.com website. These are in addition to scores of John's own Oklahoma History podcasts, blogs, articles, videos, interviews, and PowerPoints that already reside at johnjdwyer.com And you pay nothing for any of this! Also, like OKLAHOMANS 1, the new book will feature a comprehensive study guide for teachers and students. Dr. Bob Blackburn, longtime Executive Director of the Oklahoma Historical Society, called OKLAHOMANS 1, which chronicled ancient times through statehood, "The best book on Oklahoma History ever." Concerning the OKLAHOMANS series, he declared, "Every generation of Oklahomans needs their own recounting of Oklahoma history. This is ours. Well done."
