The great rush for the Oklahoma lands in 1889 was more than a regional event--it was a national excitement comparable to the California and Colorado gold rushes and involved people from all parts of the country. Some were honest, God-fearing citizens; some were not. Stan Hoig's The Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889 is the first study to take an in-depth look at what really took place before and after the shots were fired at high noon on April 22.

Explores the effects of oil wealth on the Osage Inidians, focusing on the Osages' interactions with local non-Indians as well as on tribal politics, particularly the cultural and poitical right between full-bloods and mixed bloods that continues to the present day. Also documents the lawlessness, corruption, and occasional violence, arguing that the notorious happenings in the 1920s were part of a long history of systematic exploitation of the Osages.
