Muskogee was formed in 1872; when the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (MKT or "the Katy") established a depot on an open plain just a few miles to the south of the confluence of the Arkansas; Grand; and Verdigris Rivers in Indian Territory. A small settlement there soon grew to become the center of political and commercial activity in the territory prior to Oklahoma becoming a state in 1907. Muskogee; once known as the "Queen City of the Southwest;" enjoyed major growth after statehood due to oil; cattle; cotton; and the railroads. This book features a diverse collection of Muskogee postcard images that take readers on a trip back in time on a virtual tour of the city.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Love this book; terrific primer for beginnersBy Will KalifStop motion animation; by its very nature is a multi skill endeavor. You need to know about timing; how bodies move; the effects of gravity; how to shoot video; how to take pictures; how to tell a story; and how to make movie sets and miniature figures! Wow; that seems like a lot and I hope I didnt scare you off.My point is that stop motion entails a lot of different kinds of things --- And this book touches on all of these things. And it does it very nicely. You get a little bit of the history of stop motion and learn about some of the seminal works in the genre. And you get good information about how to make things move in a way that looks natural. And you get some good information about lighting; building sets and building figures.This is simply an excellent introduction to actually doing stop motion animation. I used this book to make a short animation.You cant go wrong and if you dont know much about how to do animation but want to learn this is a great place to start.Highly recommended. It covers a lot of technical stuff in an easy to understand and not so technical way which is just terrific. Whether you are a amateur or aspiring professional you will benefit from this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. actually useful guideBy unpreparedtodieGreat book on the practical side of making stop motion.
