Experience the excitement of Oklahoma's turbulent history and the role Oklahoma's courthouses played in the state's illustrious past. In words and pictures, Oklahoma Courthouse Legends tells stories that are handed down and sometimes even embellished around Oklahoma's courthouses. Award-winning photographer David G. Fitzgerald and author Kent F. Frates have collaborated to populate the book with a rich historical cast of fearless lawman, ferocious prosecutors, clever lawyers, noted judges, evil criminals, and noteworthy politicians. Marshal Bill Tilghman, "Machine Gun" Kelly, "Pretty Boy" Floyd, Temple Houston, and Belle Starr are just some of the people chronicled in the book. Similarly, many of the dedicated county officers and employees who do the work of county government are colorfully portrayed. You will also get a glimpse of the trial of Governor David Hall, the integration of Oklahoma University Law School, the capture of Timothy McVeigh, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall's court appearances in the Sooner State.
