Murder and Mayhem in Northeast Oklahoma

By Larry Wood.  Northeast Oklahoma was part of Indian Territory during the 1800’s. Many fugitives from US justice sought refuge in its hills and hollows, including Henry Starr and Cherokee Bill. Ater Oklahoma statehood, in 1907, little changed and the area remained a hideout for outlaws into the gangster era of the 1930’s -- outlaws such as Pretty Boy Floyd hiding out in the Cookson Hills. Even in modern times, the area has seen its share of desperate characters and notorious incidents. Award winning author Larry Wood describes many of these. Paperback, 144 pages, Arcadia Publishing.
