Do you know how Oklahoma came to have a panhandle? Did you know that Washington Irving once visited what is now Oklahoma? Can you name the official state rock, or list the courses in the official state meal? The answers to these questions, and others you may not have thought to ask, can be found in this engaging collection of tales by renowned journalist-historian David Dary. Most of the stories gathered here first appeared as newspaper articles during the state centennial in 2007. For this volume Dary has revised and expanded them—and added new ones. He begins with an overview of Oklahoma’s rich and varied history and geography, describing the origins of its trails, rails, and waterways and recounting the many tales of buried treasure that are part of Oklahoma lore. But the heart of any state is its people, and Dary introduces us to Oklahomans ranging from Indian leaders Quanah Parker and Satanta, to lawmen Bass Reeves and Bill Tilghman, to twentieth-century performing artists Woody Guthrie, Will Rogers, and Gene Autry. Dary also writes about forts and stagecoaches, cattle ranching and oil, outlaws and lawmen, inventors and politicians, and the names and pronunciation of Oklahoma towns. And he salutes such intellectual and artistic heroes as distinguished teacher and writer Angie Debo and artist and educator Oscar Jacobson, one of the first to focus world attention on Indian art. Reading this book is like listening to a knowledgeable old-timer regale his audience with historical anecdotes, “so it was said” tall tales, and musings on what it all means. Whether you’re a native of the Sooner State or a newcomer, you are sure to learn much from these accounts of the people, places, history, and folklore of Oklahoma.

Camille Klump is an American author of children's fiction. F our Paws and Two Tales is the second part of a trilogy that recounts the adventures of a dog born on an island who, after two years, is finally reunited with his family and relocated to the USA. Now a young headstrong and rebellious dog, Woofy is faced with many challenges as he tries to adapt to a life of order and obedience with his human family. He struggles to overcome subhuman elements and his own animal instincts in order to serve and protect his owners. Through interactions with other animals and people, he begins to interpret their behavior and realizes there are many valuable lessons to be learned. He discovers that the color of a dog's eyes should not determine how he sees the world and being accepted as a member of the human pack demands great loyalty, sacrifice, and service. As his connection to humans deepen, he begins to use his remarkable power of healing, which comes at a great price. When he is left behind by his family, he is consumed with guilt and sadness, and it is only after being reunited with his mother, that he begins to appreciate the value of her wisdom, which helps to heal his broken heart. She offers him comfort after the sudden death of a loved one, a loss which leaves him with many unanswered questions. He is surprised to discover that, for some, freedom and happiness means having no home at all, that distance and time can never break the bond of a loving family, and no one should be quick to judge the circumstances behind the most difficult choices. An uplifting tale which reveals that being left behind never means that you are forgotten or no longer loved.
