I've identified those that I have (still very incomplete) in a new blog post, together with cover images, tables of contents, and sample pages. Only the smaller cover pages are shown here.

Hey Doug, here is a website that I found. Thought you might be interested in , although it is more on the state of Oklahoma and not Okc.

History of the State of Oklahoma-1908-intro (http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/historical/ok_1.htm)

Hey Doug, I own that first one, Born Grown, I also have a few others you don't have mentioned. If you ever see any locally for sale, let me know.

Reply to you both:

OkcLee, I'm aware of the vintage 1908 vintage stuff and I've linked it in other places, but I'd intended that the "blog post" be more contemporary. But, you are right, the really old stuff should be linked somehow. I'll work on that.

And, Metro, most if not all of the books are available for purchase somewhere. E-mail me if you are interested in somethig particular and I can probalbly line you up with a "local' source.

As for general availability, my intention is to modify the post to link such resources. And, if you have some that I've not listed, let me know. I gotta have 'em, don't you know!
