Description
Paul F. Lambert, author of Never Give Up: The Life of Pearl Carter Scott and author, co-author, or editor of sixteen other titles related to Oklahoma history, returns to the town where he grew up in Capital City: History of Tishomingo.
Tishomingo, Oklahoma, has served as the capital of the Chickasaw Nation since the mid-nineteenth century, remaining significant to Chickasaw history and culture since the days of Indian Territory. Lambert chronicles the lives, politics, and sometimes the unusual, in one of the state’s oldest and most historically significant communities. From Tishomingo’s distant past to its hopes for the future, Capital City recounts the travails and triumphs of a small town enduring the passage of time.
