Drumright II - A
Thousand Memories
by
D. Earl
Newsom
From The Publisher
A
companion to Drumright, The Glory
Days. You’ll find the second volume just as interesting as
the first. It includes the stories of Pemet, Shamrock, Oilton, and Olive
also, illustrated with rare pictures.
Drumright
II
features rare pictures from collections throughout the oil field. There
is a special collection by Ben Russell, the oil field’s first
photographer and much more information on the opening of the great oil
field in 1912.
It tells of a life with tents as
homes, the struggle of the law and the lawless, the history of schools
and churches, the era of the Klu Klux Klan, and many special memories.
It is a story and a lasting
reference for anyone who cares about Oklahoma oil history or who ever lived in the
exciting, happy–go–lucky town.
A
collection of photographs of historic homes and buildings in Drumright
Memories of Second Ward, Third Ward, Fourth Ward, Tiger and Pemeta
schools in their very first days. It tells of days when talking ended
and shooting started on Drumright streets. The day Officer Bice shot
Jeff Curlee and the day Willie Glimp was kidnapped. The day Babe Ruth
played for Drumright, and an interview with Eph Thomas, captain of D.H.S.’s great 1924 football team.
