Wagoner; the first city incorporated in Indian Territory; was established in 1896 on the dividing line of the Cherokee and Creek Nations and at the intersection of the Missouri�Kansas�Texas Railway and the Kansas Arkansas Railway. For the first half of the 20th century; Wagoner�s economy was driven by agriculture; and it became known as the �Queen City of the Prairies.� In the 1950s; when the Grand Neosho River was turned into Fort Gibson Lake; the door opened for the establishment of a number of resort enterprises. Wagoner has thrived as a visitors� destination ever since. Today; the only remaining evidence of the earliest civilization is the Norman Site�a small island slightly north of Highway 51 and east of Wagoner at Taylor Ferry�which is home to some of Oklahoma�s most prominent Indian mounds.

Enjoyed this book from cover to cover!By CustomerThis book gives a nice picturial of the Shinnecock Indians past and present. It gives good background information regarding the Shinnecock seafaring heritage. arts and crafts. and Pow Wows.

I spent hours reading and perusing the interesting pictures from front to back-- a very satisfying read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. like the WatersBy MNDIt was sufficient. but did not include "more" families. like the Waters.
