Historian John Dwyer Leads Tour of Oklahoma's Past
Renown journalist and Oklahoma historian John Dwyer took Rotarians on a brief tour of Oklahoma history, introducing them to little-known facts about our state and the people who helped shape its character.
Dwyer recently published The Oklahomans, The Story of Oklahoma and Its People. The book covers Oklahoma’s colorful history, starting with Native Americans in ancient times and continuing to statehood.
The writer also discussed other books, such as Shortgrass, a novel set in early-day Oklahoma, portraying the adventurous life of an Oklahoma farm boy who became a football star and an aviator in the midst of World War II.
