More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

    ENROLLED SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 63 By: Ford, Stipe, Cain, Campbell, Capps, Coffee, Crutchfield, Douglass, Dunlap, Easley, Fair, Fisher, Haney, Harrison, Helton, Henry, Herbert, Hobson, Horner, Johnson, Kerr, Laughlin, Leftwich, Littlefield, Maddox, Martin, Mickle, Milacek, Monson, Morgan, Muegge, Nichols, Price, Pruitt, Rabon, Reynolds, Riley, Robinson, Rozell, Shurden, Smith, Snyder, Taylor, Wilcoxson, Wilkerson, Williams and Williamson of the Senate and Gray and Maddux of the House A Concurrent Resolution stating pride in the many accomplishments of Oklahoma’s Cartwright family; directing the Department of Central Services in cooperation with the Oklahoma Department of Libraries to prepare and show an exhibit recalling the Cartwright’s many contributions; and directing distribution. WHEREAS, the first famous American Cartwright was the Reverend Peter Cartwright (1785-1873), known as “God’s Plowman”. For more than 50 years he was the epitome of the Methodist circuit rider, receiving 10,000 members into the Methodist Church, personally baptizing 12,000, conducting over 500 funerals, and preaching more than 15,000 sermons. He once delivered a famous sermon to an audience which included General Andrew Jackson, during which Cartwright said, “If General Jackson doesn’t get his soul converted, God will damn him as quickly as anyone else”. Twice a member of the Illinois legislature, in 1846 he ran for the U.S. Congress but was defeated by Springfield lawyer Abraham Lincoln. Peter Cartwright was the great uncle of J.R. Cartwright, the patriarch of the Oklahoma Cartwrights; and WHEREAS, the Cartwright family came to Oklahoma in 1903 when it was still Indian Territory. Led by Jackson Robert (J.R.) Cartwright and his wife Emma, the family migrated from eastern Tennessee to near Wapanucka in the Chickasaw Nation.

Hanson May, 1983 SENATOR WILLIAM B. PINE AND HIS TIMES Thesis Approved: ~sis . AdVi . er ~ ~ - ~ ) Dean of Graduate College ii PREFACE This is an examination of the career of William B. Pine, a businessman and politician from Okmulgee, Oklahoma. His business experiences stretched from territorial days to World War II and involved oil, manufacturing, and agricul­ ture. Pine achieved political recognition in the 1924 elections, made distinctive by the involvement of the Ku Klux Klan, when he defeated the Democratic nominee, John C. Walton, for a seat in the United States Senate. Initially aligned with regular Republicans in the Senate, Pine gradu­ ally became more critical of the Hoover administration. He sought re-election in 1930 and lost to Thomas P. Gore. A campaign for the Oklahoma governorship ended in defeat in 1934. He was preparing another senatorial bid when he died in 1942. The author greatly appreciates the professional advice and extensive assistance of his major adviser, Dr. Theodore L. Agnew, in the preparation of this study. The author also is grateful for the contributions made by Dr. Ivan Chapman, Dr. Douglas D. Hale, and Dr. LeRoy H.

BEU . TITLE OF THESIS: LEON C. PHILLIPS AND THE NEW DEAL IN OKLAHOMA . DIRECTOR OF THESIS: DR. KENNY BROWN . PAGES: 101 . ABSTRACT: Leon C. Phillips and the New Deal in Oklahoma looks at how one governor in the state reacted to the New Deal by attempting to be fiscally conservative. Particularly in regards to the overspending trend, taking on supporters of the program, and fighting against federal government intrusion. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who helped me with this project that I would like to thank. First and foremost, Dr. Kenny Brown who helped me find a topic that I would enjoy working on throughout my master’s work and who assisted me when time became short. I would not have been able to finish this thesis without his immense help. Next, my fellow graduate students who offered their help: Michael Molina, Mary Vick, and Stephanie Diaz. Last, but definitely not least, I would like to thank my wife, Billie. Throughout my collegiate journey, her support has helped me obtain my goals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION…………………………………………………………………….. 1 Chapter I.
