Shaping Oklahoma is conversational history.¿It is founded on facts as I have researched them; it is founded on opinion as I have lived it and come to endorse; it is founded on memory and¿is told from my understanding and psyche. The shaping of Oklahoma was a process of events and of many people over many centuries.¿It is the result of nomadic search for food, European monarchical search for power and glory, settler's hunger for land, and forced migration. The people who came to call this uniquely different shape state "home" are as diverse as the problems encountered in forming the state.¿Weather, sports, religion, family, work ethic and politics are components of Oklahoma culture.¿Upon settlement, agriculture took the lead in the economy of the state, but soon the race was more even as oil entered the field.¿Oklahoma leadership reached out to the state's assets in economic development bringing tourism and aviation onto the chart. The greatest asset however, is the people who have always proven to be innovative and resourceful. ... Read more
