Oklahomeland
by Jeanette Calhoun Mish
Oklahomeland welcomes you to the real Oklahoma, the Oklahoma not of a musical but of sweat-stained people, of a raw land of raw emotions. Jeanetta Calhoun Mish is foremost a story-teller whose compelling narratives and imagery entice you into caring as much as she does. You can take a walk with a little girl and her Grandpa or drive down a rural highway, always connected with the land. Even the more "scholarly" subjects are conversations told with passion and fire, whether about Woody Guthrie or lynchings in her hometown.
