Numbers li^sS I am boundfor the promised land, I am boundfor the promised land; 0 who will come and go with me? 1 am bound for the promised land. Samuel Stennett, old gospel song Our lot is cast in a goodly land and there is no land fairer than the Land of the Pair God. Milton W, Reynolds, early Oklahoma pioneer ill PREFACE In December, 1892, the editor of the Oklahoma School Herald urged fellow Oklahomans to keep accurate records for the benefit of posterity* "There is a time coming, if the facts can be preserved," he noted, "when the pen of genius and eloquence will take hold of the various incidents con­ nected with the settlement of what will then be the magnifi» cent state of Oklahoma and weave them into a story that will verify the proverb that truth is more wonderful than fic­ tion." While making no claim to genius or eloquence, I have attempted to fulfill the editor's dream by treating the Anglo-American settlement of Oklahoma Territory from 1889 to statehood in 1907» with emphasis upon social and cultural developments* It has been my purpose not only to describe everyday life but to show the role of churches, schools, and newspapers, as well as the rise of the medical and legal professions* My treatment of these salient aspects does not profess to tell the complete story of life in Oklahoma.

  • Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Southern Nazarene
    (RUSSELLVILLE, AR)---Northwestern Oklahoma State University and Southern Nazarene University have accepted provisional membership invitations into the NCAA Division II Great American Conference. Southern Nazarene is a private liberal arts university affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene and is located in Bethany, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City. Northwestern Oklahoma State is a member of the Regional University System of Oklahoma, as are GAC members East Central University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, and Southwestern Oklahoma State University. NWOSU is located in Alva, Oklahoma. Both institutions are currently members of the NAIA's Sooner Athletic Conference and the Central States Football League. Each school will gain full GAC status upon completing the three-year NCAA Division II membership process. SNU and NWOSU will not compete in the GAC in the 2011-12 academic year, but it is anticipated that the pair will be added to conference schedules for the 2012-13 season. Both programs bring a legacy of athletic success to the Great American Conference. Southern Nazarene has captured ten NAIA national titles, including seven in women's basketball. Squads representing the Crimson Storm have also recorded a pair of women's golf national championships and a men's basketball crown. SNU's athletic department fields teams in 17 NCAA-recognized sports. Northwestern Oklahoma State boasts a strong football tradition. The Rangers earned the 1999 NAIA football championship and have held the number one ranking in that association eleven times since the start of the 2000 season. NWOSU varsity squads compete in eleven sports. A GAC visit team, led by Southwestern Oklahoma State University president Randy Beutler, made trips to both campuses in April.

  • Oklahoma's Climate Cycle, As It Is in All the Plains States
    OKLAHOMA’S CLIMATE: AN OVERVIEW Topography Oklahoma is located in the Southern Great Plains. Of the 50 states, it ranks 20th in size, with an area of 69,903 square miles, about 1,224 of which are covered by water. The terrain is mostly plains, varying from nearly flat in the west to rolling in the central and near east, with a general slope upward from west to east. The plains are broken by scattered hilly areas where most points are 600 feet or less above the adjacent countryside. These hilly areas include the Wichita Mountains in the southwest and the Arbuckle Mountains in the south-central. The Ouachita Mountains dominate much of the southeast, with peaks that rise as much as 2,000 feet above their base. Extreme northeastern counties are part of the Ozark Plateau, which is marked by steep, rocky river valleys between large areas of hills and rolling plains. The western tip of the panhandle features part of the Black Mesa complex, a fractured terrain featuring large mesa overlooking seasonal creek and riverbeds. Elevations range from 287 feet above sea level where the Little River exits in southeastern Oklahoma to 4,973 feet on Black Mesa near the New Mexico border. Oklahoma lies entirely within the drainage basin of the Mississippi River. The two main rivers in the state are the Arkansas, which drains the northern two-thirds of the state, and the Red, which drains the southern third and serves as the state's southern border. Principal tributaries of the Arkansas are the Verdigris, Grand (Neosho), Illinois, Cimarron, Canadian and North Canadian.

Their patience and uncomplaining sacri­ fices through difficult times have been the primary sources of inspiration and determination to go on when it would have been easier to quit. The several hundred students who have passed through my classes at Phillips University, Enid, Oklahoma, in the past ten years must also be mentioned as an unfailing source of enthusiasm. The fact that several of them have gone on to achieve their graduate degrees in history has been a compelling force to finish my own. But the greatest accolades must be reserved for a true patron-saint, Mrs. Grace Bergman of San Rafael, California. In the summer of 1954, she appeared at my door with a generous offer which resulted in my belated matriculation at a nearby university, and which has been a dominant force in my life from that date. The following pages are dedi­ cated to her generosity and many kindnesses which have been singularly responsible for what follows.
