I created several pieces on Oklahoma history specifically for school children. Knowing history is boring to many school age children I put the stories in poetry form. By design I focused on the more colorful aspects of our history with the goal of stimulating enough interest to want to learn more. Some elementary school children used some of this work as their topic to memorize during our 2007 centennial.

Here is a link that I hope will find helpful

There are two sections on Oklahoma – People And History and Scenic Beauty.

Although your interest is history I would encourage to at least read the Scenic Beauty section. The goal of this section was to dispel most people impression, a Hollywood myth, that Oklahoma is a barren and flat land. This is important to our history.

Oklahoma has more variations in scenery than the majority of states. Oklahoma with 11 different ecoregions is one of only four U.S. states to have more than 10 ecoregions. Oklahoma has four main mountain ranges, in addition to several smaller ranges.

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy what you learn about Oklahoma.
