Download or read book The Historic Cookson Hills Dictionary written by Gary D. Courtney and published by . This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study in linguistics, lifestyle, sociology, and history of our heritage. "The Cookson Hills Dictionary" provides the reader an insight to the hard-working, God-fearing, ingenious, inventive, and adventurous pioneers, who built the foundation of the country we enjoy today. Some of the terms we use now originated during Medieval times, over 600 years ago, and the source of terms are documented, where available. Originally begun and intended as a small glossary in the back of Gary Courtney's book on the Cookson Hills history, the collection became a full-fledged book on its own, thanks to the contributions of local residents and Gary's Oklahoma roots. Historical chapters pertain to the Cookson Hills, but the dictionary itself could apply to the language and pioneer lifestyle of all early America. The Cookson Hills, on the Illinois River in northeast Oklahoma, were: The site of a large population of ancient inhabitants (over 1,000 years ago), The new home of the Cherokee Nation (1828-1839), Sam Houston's home, before he left for Texas, Levi Cookson's open range for thousands of head of cattle worked by 200 cowboys, A favorite hideout of outlaws, such as: Belle Starr, Jesse James, and the Doolin and Dalton gangs (1880's), and Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd and Carl Janaway (1930's), The site of many family farms taken for Camp Gruber, during World War II, and Scene of the book and movie filming of "Where the Red Fern Grows". The rugged limestone bluffs and crystal-clear, spring-fed streams are where Gary Courtney, a born adventurer, has walked, camped, fished and hunted, ridden horseback, SCUBA dived, and explored underground in caves, since childhood. The area is now a water sports, hunting, and trail riding Mecca, Intermingled with horse and cattle ranches and farms, the Cherokee Nation, and Northeastern State University. His writings and two one-month-long museum exhibits at Northeastern State University on the Cookson Hills history and outlaw Carl Janaway, last surviving bank robber of the 1930's, have been the subjects of Gary Courtney's guest speaking engagements at local civic organizations and at the Sam Noble Museum at Oklahoma University. Inspiration for the book came from Gary's grandmother, Cleva Pauline (York) Tillman and grandfather, James Grover Cleveland "Cleve" Tillman, who pioneered the homestead cotton fields of Hollis, Oklahoma, in the 1890's, and from the many good, hard-working people he grew up with, in Cleveland, Hominy, and Tulsa, Oklahoma. In living the ethic he learned from his father, a printer in a small town newspaper, Gary has worked as many as 120 hours in one week and accomplished "impossible" projects, while in the business world. Contributions to "The Cookson Hills Dictionary" came from all walks of life and ages. People from Jimmy Houston's Outdoor Store in Keys on Lake Tenkiller, to Braum's and Lucky's Café in Tahlequah, and Tulsa, have submitted contributions. Sometimes, the submissions were written at 1:00 A.M., on an empty Marlboro carton, a brown paper sack, or an envelope, so they wouldn't chance being forgotten by morning. Sometimes, entries were written with friends, over a breakfast of biscuits and gravy. Printing has been intentionally kept to a font sizeable enough for easy reading, especially by the old-timers who contributed to the book's content. Blank pages are provided for notes in the back of the book, so readers can record and submit their suggestions for the next edition. A CD-ROM disk is available by order form, so readers can use the Microsoft WORD Edit-Find function to look up words and phrases quickly and easily, without trying to sort the dictionary in any particular order. A chapter is planned, for subsequent editions, to contain Cherokee old time and slang words and phrases.

Download or read book Mississippian Settlement Patterns written by Bruce D. Smith and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Archeology: Mississippian Settlement Patterns explains the cultural organization of many of the prehistoric societies in the Eastern United States during the last 1000 years of their existence. This book emphasizes the difference between the central core of Mississippian societies and those peripheral societies that preceded its development. Readers are advised to begin the examination of this compilation by reading Chapter 16 first, followed by Chapters 8 to 13 and 15, in order to understand the variations of patterning among societies that are commonly regarded as nascent or developed Mississippian. The rest of the chapters analyze cultural groups on the West, North, and Northeast that are not Mississippian societies, including a discussion of late prehistoric societies that are in some ways divergent but are sometimes regarded as Mississippian. This publication is valuable to archeologists, historians, and researchers conducting work on Mississippian societies.

Book excerpt: This book chrinicles the true adventure of a loose-knit confederation of daring bandits originating from the infamous Cookson Hills of Eastern Oklahoma who terrorized the Arkansas-Oklahoma borderlands for more than a half decade following the close of the First World War.This Account, which takes place in the "Roing '20s." is meant to serve as a prelude to the author's first book, The Bad Boys of the Cookson Hills, which chronicles the activities of another band of outlaws who launched a prolific series of attacts on nearly two-dozen banks in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Arkansas during the 1930s depression era. This second "Cookson Hills Gang was headquartered in the same geographic area as the earlier version noted in this narrative and some of the characters involved with the orginal outfit were active members of the latter group.
Download or read book Mississippian Communities and Households written by J. Daniel Rogers and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 1995-11-30 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Mississippian period (approximately A.D. 1000-1600) in the midwestern and southeastern United States a variety of greater and lesser chiefdoms took shape. Archaeologists have for many years explored the nature of these chiefdoms from the perspective common in archaeological investigations—from the top down, investigating ceremonial elite mound structures and predicting the basic domestic unit from that data. Because of the increased number of field investigations at the community level in recent years, this volume is able to move the scale of investigation down to the level of community and household, and it contributes to major revisions of settlement hierarchy concepts.
Download or read book The Ritual Landscape of Late Precontact Eastern Oklahoma written by Amanda L. Regnier and published by University Alabama Press. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revisits and updates WPA-funded archaeological research on key Oklahoma mound sites As part of Great Depression relief projects started in the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) sponsored massive archaeological projects across Oklahoma. The WPA crews excavated eight mound sites and dozens of nonmound residential sites in the Arkansas River Valley that date between AD 1000 and 1450. These sites are considered the westernmost representations of Mississippian culture in the Southeast. The results of these excavations were documented in field journals and photographs prepared by the field supervisors and submitted in a series of quarterly reports to WPA headquarters. These reports contain a wealth of unpublished information summarizing excavations at the mound sites and residential sites, including mound profiles, burial descriptions, house maps, artifact tables, and artifact sketches. Of the excavated mound sites, results from only one, Spiro, have been extensively studied and synthesized in academic literature. The seven additional WPA-excavated mound sites—Norman, Hughes, Brackett, Eufaula, Skidgel, Reed, and Lillie Creek—are known to archaeologists outside of Oklahoma only as unlabeled points on maps of mound sites in the Southeast. The Ritual Landscape of Late Precontact Eastern Oklahoma curates and contextualizes the results of the WPA excavations, showing how they inform archaeological understanding of Mississippian occupation in the Arkansas Valley. Regnier, Hammerstedt, and Savage also relate the history and experiences of practicing archaeology in the 1930s, incorporating colorful excerpts from field journals of the young, inexperienced archaeologists. Finally, the authors update current knowledge of mound and nonmound sites in the region, providing an excellent example of historical archaeology.
