Oklahoma Travel Handbook

This book will tell you about the best lakes for fishing and water sports and the diverse accomodations at state parks and where to see Oklahoma's legendary cowboys and Indians. It will tell you the location of many historic battlefields and restorations and the fine museums housing everything from sod houses to delicate Chinese jades. Traditionally associated with rolling plains and grasslands, Oklahoma is also a land of lakes, forested green hills, rich river-bottom farmlands, and barren volcanic mountains. Formed of a blending of varies cultures - Indian, Spanish, French, and Anglo - the state attracted emigrants from many countries during Land Openings. Today their descendants preserve their ethnic heritage in museums and celebrate it with songs and dancing and feasting at annual festivals where visitors are welcome. This book will tell you where and when to go to enjoy it all. --- from book's back cover
