Cimarron
(Book)

A family moves from Kansas to the Oklahoma Territory as Oklahoma moves from territory to statehood. The male character is a romantic, ethical, classic quoting adventurer, newspaper man, and public speaker, whose wanderlust prevents him from settling down. His wife is a steady, reliable woman who keeps the newspaper running, raises the family, and becomes a Congresswoman. Included in this novel are the lives of their children and how they reflect the changing times in Oklahoma. Stereotypes represent a Jewish peddlar, an African-American servant, and several Osage Indians.
