Book Review by the Author: Robert B. Pickering

Luck is a Fortune: Adventure, Duty, and Buffalo on the 1841 Frontier is a new, in-depth exploration of a little known piece of Oklahoma history. The book looks at two diaries, both written by soldiers stationed at Fort Gibson in 1839-40. Their powerful personal stories provide insights into the politics and competing interests during the early days of Indian Territory. Robert B. Pickering, PhD, is the R. M. and Ida McFarlin Dean of the Library at the University of Tulsa. (See Trail Mix for more information.) No reservations necessary.
