Few writers have written as thoughtfully and extensively on Oklahoma politics and culture as Richard Lowitt. Collected for the first time in one volume, Lowitt's articles on post-World War II Oklahoma and notable Oklahomans reveal a remarkable range of the state's political, environmental, agricultural, civil rights, and Native American history.

This is a survey of the impact of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal reforms. Lowitt focuses upon the operations of various agencies and programmes in the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains and Great Basin, the Pacific Northwest, and California, during the period from 1932 to 1940.

Only with the creation of the Oklahoma Territory in 1890 was the area finally claimed by a government entity. This title presents the history of the Oklahoma Panhandle.
