Overview

From its beginning as part of the relocation of five tribes to Indian Territory, to becoming the Oil Capitol of the World during the early 1900's, Historic Photos of Tulsa is a photographic history collected from the area's top archives. With around 200 photographs, many of which have never been published, this beautiful coffee table book shows the historical growth from the mid-1800's to the late 1900's of this scenic city in stunning black and white photography.

The book follows life, government, events and people important to Tulsa history and the building of this unique city. Spanning over two centuries and two hundred photographs, this is a must-have for any long-time resident or history lover of Tulsa!
