From Sagebrush to Statehood

Travel in time through Oklahoma's journey to statehood from the Cherokee's Trail of Tears and the Indian Removal, the early forts, and our role in the Civil War. Artists include, among others, Brummett Echohawk, Vinson Lackey, Charlie Russell, Frederic Remington and Olaf Seltzer. See how such characters such as Custer and Quanah Parker played roles. Learn of early political shenanigans. See actual photos of the Land Runs undermined by the Boomers and Sooners. You will also see the state's first capital, first post office, first grocery store, first college and first church. Oklahoma, the "Land of the Red People," becomes the 46th Star of the United States.
