The Edward Everett Dale Society Reception

My husband and I were invited to a reception yesterday hosted by the Edward Everett Dale Society in the Western History Collection featuring new books published by The University of Oklahoma Press. It was a great reception and something I've never been too before...it made me feel like an adult. Of course I found half a dozen books I wanted to purchase, but I settled on these three:
A comprehensive history of the Sooner state from it's tectonic formation to it's centennial birthday. A dual choice, my Husband and I think it will be a good book for our boys when they study Oklahoma history in high school.

A fictional account that brings to life the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889. This one was my husband's choice, but looks interesting nonetheless.


A book based on the diaries and letters of 8 women who traversed the wagon trails on our countries westward migration during the 19th century. I knew I wanted this book the minute I picked it up. It's going to be a great read.


We were put on the permanent invite list for this event, and I'm looking forward to next years reception!
