Book excerpt: Senator: 1876-1965 “The Life and Career of Elmer Thomas” expounds the incredible life and times of Senator John William Elmer Thomas, one of America’s most committed and influential politicians and its unsung heroes. Elmer Thomas was from a generation that not only helped to build the country but also devoted his life to serving it. This book is a thorough examination of the events and influences that shaped him from his early days growing up on a farm in Indiana to his travels in the Wild West and Oklahoma where he took up residence. It was here that he was elected to the Oklahoma state senate (1927-1951) and ultimately became a member of the US Congress and later the US Senate.

Book excerpt: Elmer Thomas (1876-1965) represented the people of Oklahoma in the state's first legislature and in Congress. This memoir, written shortly after he left the U.S. Senate in 1951 but never before published, chronicles his long career and offers a wealth of information on people and events that helped shape the development of the state and the course of American history. Thomas became one of Oklahoma's first state senators in 1907 and was involved with financing the construction of public works. As a member of the U.S. Congress, he made it his business to understand the Federal Reserve System, and as the farm crisis of the 1920s worsened during the Great Depression, he consistently argued for inflating the currency to stimulate the economy--a struggle that became central to his career and that he eventually won. Thomas's panoramic look at the issues of his time includes a behind-the-scenes view of the Nürnberg War Crimes Trial and also tells how he helped push funding for the atomic bomb project through Congress without disclosing its true nature. Thomas dedicated his career to improving the lot of rural residents, Native Americans, and working people. Forty Years a Legislator is a rich source of insight for all concerned with twentieth-century politics or the early years of Oklahoma statehood.
