A frequent reader comment regarding the readability of Oklahomans 1 concerns Oklahomans’ impact on not just state, but national and world history. Jim Thorpe, Will Rogers, Woody Guthrie, Clara Luper, Thomas Stafford, and many others accomplished feats that built and sometimes changed America. Another great bonus of Oklahomans 2 is the compelling, often inspiring AMERICAN history that, while often missing from the books and courses where it SHOULD appear, permeates this one with Oklahomans who helped lead America in its efforts through World Wars, Civil Rights, the Space Race, the Cold War, energy independence, spreading Christianity, and many other endeavors.
