Review # 1 was written on 2018-05-05 00:00:00 Carlos Hurtado I am from Tulsa but currently live in Muscogee County GA. This book covers both histories well, I managed to snag a copy of it on Amazon for 4 dollars in perfect condition and it even was an autographed one! I have to say the Author states that this is Tulsa history he wants to talk about and glosses over some of the bad parts of Tulsa history, he instead focuses on the families that built it like the Lafortunes and only goes to 1995. it is a good overview of the best city in the US and is a stepping stone to more history of the city.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-23 00:00:00 Don Williams I had high hopes for this book, wanting to know a lot of the history of Tulsa. The writing style was not always that interesting, and the author dwelled a lot on the racial problems of Tulsa. The race riot was horrible and I was shocked to find out how much racism played into the history of Tulsa, but I really wanted to know more about the city itself, the buildings, the evolution of downtown, etc. For someone who wants to know more about Tulsa than the racial conflict and the early Indian days, this book isn't the one to read.
