Oklahoma
Francisco Vasquez de Coronado gazed across the Great Plains looking for "Gran Quivira," where the natives ate from golden bowls and walked through silver-paved streets. On April 22, 1889, 350 years after Coronado's quest, 60,000 land-hungry boomers stood at the borders of the Oklahoma Territory, waiting anxiously for the land run to begin. Some gazed across the same plains as Coronado-dreaming, as he did, of wealth and opportunity. Oklahoma: A Rich Heritage by Odie B. Faulk and William D. Welge is the colorful history of Oklahoma's early pioneers: cowboys and outlaws, soldiers and Indians, ranchers and politicians, are just a few of the history-makers depicted. Among the cast of characters is Judge Isaac C. Parker, "the law west of Fort Smith," who reduced lawlessness in post-Civil War Oklahoma; Tom Slick, who boasted that he could smell oil-laden sand before a drill bit touched the earth: and Kate Branden, who courageously fought for reforms in the state's early government.
The U.S. Camel Corps
In a true saga of the old west, author Odie Faulk recreates the story of the "exotic pioneers"--camels, imported to deliver supplies across the American West. A little know but fascinating true story.
The Geronimo Campaign
Based on fresh evidence - including depositions from old soldiers and scouts, official documents, articles, letters and photographs - this study examines the campaign that the US Army waged against the Apache tribe, led by its great chieftain Geronimo, and assesses the outcome of the bloodshed.
Crimson Desert

Schemers & Dreamers
Whether any plan to enter Mexico was carried out or whether the leaders were U.S. citizens was unimportant to the Mexican government. To Mexico the significance was that the groups recruited, organized, and plotted their entradas from the United States in full view of the U.S. government even as newspapers in both countries published dozens of articles about the endeavors.".
The Lipan Apaches
This study of one of the least known Apache tribes utilizes archival materials to reconstruct Lipan history through numerous threats to their society.
Arizona: A Bicentennial History
With the polished style that characterizes all his works, Dr. Lawrence Clark Powell portrays Arizona in a way that will enthrall readers in any state, concluding with recognition that, like the ancient Indians and Spaniards, "We too hold the land in brief tenancy." "O yes," said Senator Wade of Ohio, "I have heard of that country--it is just like hell." Such was the reaction to Arizona Territory of the nineteenth-century politicians who opposed making it a state and forced it to wait for statehood almost half a century. Now an opposite idea--Arizona as paradise--attracts tourists and the retired by the thousands. Cliches about a land of cowboys and Indians have yielded to visions of swimming pools, golf courses, and desert sunsets. Author Lawrence Clark Powell probes deeper to a nobler Arizona of dramatic history and human achievement.
