Book Synopsis
After immigrants flooded into central Oklahoma during the land rush of 1889, the city's residents adopted the slogan “born grown” to describe their new home. But the territory's creation was never so simple or straightforward. The real story, steeped in the politics of the Gilded Age, unfolds in 1889.

Trade Review
1889 is a much-needed contribution to the history of Oklahoma, the American West, and Gilded Age America. Michael J. Hightower offers the best and most complete coverage of the Boomer movement that I have read."" - Sterling Evans, editor of Farming across Borders: A Transnational History of the North American West
