Excerpt from A Standard History of Oklahoma, Vol. 1: An Authentic Narrative of Its Development From the Date of the First European Exploration Down to the Present Time The writer of this work has to thank many friends for assistance kindly lent and suggestions generously offered in the collection and arrangement of the material therefor. It would be a real pleasure to mention by name all who have thus contributed to the interest and completeness of the work, were it not that the enumeration would scarcely serve to convey the distinction intended and de served. Especial acknowledgments are due to Dr. Emmet Starr, of Tahlequah; to Hon. J. F. Weaver, of Fort Smith; to Rev. Dr. J. S. Murrow, of Atoka; to Mr. W. P. Campbell, custodian of the Oklahoma Historical Society, and to Professors J. S. Buchanan and Roy L. Gittinger, of the Department of History in the University of Oklahoma, with all of whom the writer has had occasion to consult more or less frequently. Most of the advisory editors have also been laid under tribute for similar assistance and all have readily responded, including the two worthy pioneers - Hon. Neal Evans, of El Reno, and Hon. Z. T. Walrond, of Muskogee - both of whom died after the work was well under way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
