Stan Paregien’s Oklahoma Almanac of Facts & Humor: Part 2 – Okarche to Zafra contains lots of historical information about the state of Oklahoma and its people. It contains so much information–facts, photos, prominent people and humorous stories–that it had to be divided into two parts. So this is Part 2. Part 1 covers the towns of Achilee to Nowata.

However, folks, this ain’t your grandpa’s dry, boring history book. No, siree. The author tells the unique stories of 148 Oklahoma cities and towns and villages (both Parts). All of the towns which are county seats in Oklahoma’s 77 counties are covered, plus 71 others. And he writes about each town with a conversational style which is warm, inviting and consumer friendly. He makes a concerted effort to identify pominent people associated with each town.

The author also includes 183 photos and/or graphics (total for Parts 1 and 2; most in color), such as photos of George Nigh, Donna Nigh, Gene Autry, Blake Shelton, Virgil R. Trout, Reba McEntire, Anita Bryant, Ree Drummond, Henry Bellmon, Shirley Bellman, Jody Miller, Allen Wright, Tom Paxton, Kristin Chenoweth, Bob Burke, Carl B.
