Book Synopsis
Oklahoma was in the throes of the Great Depression when Preston George took his first photographs of steam locomotives. In this first book devoted solely to George's work, his black-and-white photographs constitute a striking visual documentary of steam-driven railroading in its brief but glorious heyday in the American Southwest.

Trade Review
Smoke over Oklahoma showcases the creative genius of the late railroad photographer Preston George. Augustus J. Veenendaal has selected a wonderful, representative selection of George's works, provides insightful captions, and offers a historical overview of railroads in the Sooner State."" - H. Roger Grant, author of Railroads and the American People
