Summary
Oklahoma is a land of great variety, both in its landscape and in its people. From its rocky mountains to its sleep valleys, from marshy wetlands to dusty deserts, from the hundreds of lakes to some of the largest fields of grassy prairie land, Oklahoma is unique. It is a land of cowboys and oil rigs, prairie dogs and vast fields of gypsum that brightly reflect the sun like glass. In all of Oklahoma's variety, it is an interesting state to visit and an exciting state to call home. Book jacket.
