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. All of these sites comprise an invaluable resource for learning about Oklahoma’s remarkable and diverse The Clovis people lived Native American heritage. in Oklahoma at the Given the distribution and ages of studies sites, Okla- homa was widely inhabited during prehistory.

(Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2008. xviii + 358 pp. Maps, glossary, notes, bibliography, index. $29.95 cloth, ISBN 978-0-8263- 4362-8.) Archival research is time consuming and often unproductive. So it is no wonder that in our “publish or perish” world, many of us look for an easier way—a “sophisticated” theoretical argument short on empirical specificity. Richard Flint’s book, No Settlement, No Conquest, is a delightful reminder of the rewards of painstaking research. Flint’s two previous books on the Coronado expedition, Documents of the Coronado Expedition, 1539–1542: “They Were Not Familiar with His Majesty, nor Did They Wish to Be His Subjects” (2005), and Great Cruelties Have Been Reported: The 1544 Investi- gation of the Coronado Expedition (2002) also exemplify the benefits of dili- gent research. In No Settlement, No Conquest, Flint draws from a vast array of primary sources to detail the events of the Coronado expedition and its aftermath.

    Autobiography Of Lyman Franklin Beard Compiled and edited By Ruby Beard Tuggle Christmas – 1988 The following account was dictated by Lyman F. Beard to his daughter Mildred, at Sapulpa, Oklahoma in April 1941. I, Lyman Franklin Beard, was born August 1, 1872, at Fredonia Kansas. My parents lived on a farm and I went to a one room country school and built fires for the teacher and swept out the school house for one dollar a month. We lived near Fredonia until I was seventeen. In 1889 my two older brothers, John and Henry, went to Oklahoma and I tended sixty acres of corn, twelve acres of oats and six acres of flax alone. My father had rheumatism so bad he couldn’t walk and so could not help me, but he was better by fall. Henry homesteaded a place and sold it and put in a produce place in Oklahoma. John came back and helped me gather the crops in the fall. The corn was shipped to Oklahoma. When I was fourteen Mother and two of my brothers, Henry and Herschal, had typhoid fever and Herschal died. He was nine months old. In 1890 I rode my pony and drove thirty-four head of cattle to Oklahoma City. Father drove a wagon and Mother came on the train. We came through Tulsa and crossed a ferry there. There were about a dozen or two houses in Tulsa then. The railroad went through Redfork. I ran a water wagon in Oklahoma City and hauled water to slake the lime for some of the oldest buildings in Oklahoma City.
