The Oklahomans -- a Book Review and Signing -- by John J Dwyer
​​
The unforgettable saga of America's last frontier--the Oklahoma Country. Never has the story of this great land and people been told like John tells it. John J Dwyer, historian, professor and author of "The Oklahomans" will chronicle in his presentation the saga of the winning - and losing - of a land. Some of the most famous cowboys, Indians, lawmen, outlaws, and explorers in American history stride across the pages of this unforgettable story. So do some of the country's greatest entrepreneurs, statesmen, Christian ministers, social pioneers, and athletes.

His book, "The Oklahomans -- The Story of Oklahoma and its People" was commissioned by the Oklahoma Historical Society as an official project of the 2007 Oklahoma Centennial Celebration. The book was further honored by winning both the author and publisher gold medals for Western non-fiction at the fourteenth annual Will Rogers Medallion Award banquet, Saturday night, Oct. 28, 2017, in Fort Worth.

Dwyer is a highly sought after speaker and the Museum of Southern Oklahoma is honored to provide this opportunity for the public to enjoy his presentation. Refreshments provided. Admission is FREE. You will have the opportunity to purchase his book and have it signed! Check out this trailer: https://youtu.be/RaaYAVw97Tg

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 67 degrees; 0.33 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great on top waters early along rocky shorelines and sandy flats around coves. Watch for birds on the banks and fish the direction the birds are moving up and down the rocks. Live bait is still very effective fishing ledges and humps near the river channels in 35-45 feet of water. The shad spawn is on and catching will only get better. Crappie fishing is good near boat docks and on structure also using electronics to locate roaming fish in 12-15 feet of water. Glo and milk are colors of choice with a crappie nibble tip. Seeing females in the creeks 2-5 feet of water as well. Catfishing is getting better on cut shad and prepared baits anchored on ledges in 40-50 feet of water a few reels off the bottom near rocky banks. Slip cork with a cut shad down the bluffs are producing channel cats preparing to spawn as well. Bass fishing is good using top waters early, spooks or closed face glide baits and fish crawl baits later. Fish are roaming near the beds and hitting white chatter baits as well. Live shad down the bluffs are producing numbers with the occasional big fish off the rocks in 5-8 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Hybrid stripers are excellent with limits coming on topwaters along the bank early in the morning watching for Egrets. Then switch to swimbaits on flats and points in 10-20 feet of water. Shad are spawning along the banks. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
