State Senator Gene Stipe's A gathering of heroes

A great collection of Oklahoma stories and history from a man who shaped the growth of the state from it's legislature for more than half of the state's history. Gene Stipe served some 50 plus years in the state legislature. In that time he has had a first hand active role in the state's development. Both famous and infamous, Gene Stipe has recounted some first person history about himself, Lloyd Radar, W.E.B. DuBois, a myriad of governors and other influential characters in the state's past. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to know a little bit more about Oklahoma's past or would like to read a book from a man who served so long and became so powerful the opposition had to pass constitutional term limits to remove him.
