They are having problems with their web page today but their catalog is at: http://www.oupress.com There are a lot of Oklahoma HIstory, Cowboys and Native American books listed. Fred Frederick M.

J. Myles Felihkatubbe, our Garfield and Cherokee Outlet Coordinator, will be taking over the Ponca Agency site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~itponca/ Thanks, J. Myles!! Marti

This book is still in print. I bought one online a couple of weeks from Books-A-Million.com. I would check with OU Press and also call the history department of OU. John Wesley Morris was a history professor at OU. He's also written several other books which are also available. If you do happen to find that he is still living let me know. His picture on the back flap bears a strong resemblance to my late wife's father. His mother was a Morris and his grandfather was John Wesley Morris that died in 1946. From what I found, it appears he was previously married before he married Harrietta Tackett around 1900. He was born in 1866 and she was born about 1880.

I have this book I bought a couple years ago on Ebay called Ghost Towns of Oklahoma by John W. Morris. Some very interesting stuff in it. I don't think ALL the ghost towns are in it tho - as York in Pontotoc County isn't listed and that was the main reason for buying the book. Still worth the buy. The book was written in 1975 and copyrighted in 1977 by Univ. of Oklahoma Press in Norman. How would I go about using some of the info in the book online without infringing? Giving full credit to the author and submitters, too. These are the towns with pictures and info in the book: Academy Acme Adamson Addington Alluwe America Autwine Avard Avery Beer City Benton Bernice Bickford Big Cedar Blackburn Boggy Depot Bridgeport Brinkman Bromide Burke City Catesby Cayuga Center Centralia Cestos Cherokee Town Cloud Chief Cold Springs Cooperton Corbett Cornish Crawford Cromwell Cross Denoya Devol Doaksville Doby Springs Douglas City Downs Eagle Eagle City Earlsboro Eschiti Fallis Fleetwood Foraker Foss Francis Frazer Frisco Gene Autry Grand Gray Horse Hanson Hochatown Independence Ingalls Ingersoll Jefferson Jumbo Kaw City Kenton Keokuk Falls Keystone-Appalachia Knowles Kosoma Lawrie Lehigh Lenora Lodi Logan Loveland Lovell Lugert Mayes Meers Milton Mineral Mouser Navajoe Nicksville Non North Fork Town Old Agency Village Orr Park Hill Parkersburg Paw Paw Phroso Picher Pine Valley Piney Pleasant Valley Port Quay Quinlan Reed Reno City Ron Rosedale Russell Sacred Heart Sans Bois Santa Fe Selman Shamrock Silver City Silver Lake Skullyville [Scullyville] Slick Sod Town Strong City Sugden Sulphur Springs Sumner Tahlonteeskee Talala Tamaha Three Sands Tidmore Tuskahoma Violet Springs White Bead Wildman Wirt Woodford Woodville Yeldell Yewed It has old maps, too.
