It doesn’t come wrapped in a Delorean, but Oklahoma Today’s September/October 2016 issue is all about time travel. This edition, titled “Oklahoma Yesterday,” is your guide to exploring Oklahoma’s past, from its Wild West Indian Territory days right up through the totally rad 1980s. Travel with Susan Dragoo as she follows the course of the California Road, which took Gold Rushers through Oklahoma on their way to California in the 1840s. Get to know Karen Dalton, the mysterious folk singer from Enid who inspired Bob Dylan and left only a handful of recordings behind. Visit Oklahoma’s two national cemeteries at Fort Sill and Fort Gibson, where veterans from every American war are honored in a manner befitting their sacrifice. And travel the state to uncover the stories, the artifacts, and the little-known turns of history documented at small museums across Oklahoma—from a piece of a Soviet rocket that fell near Gate to a massive collection of classic muscle cars near Chickasha. All this and more in the September/October 2016 issue of Oklahoma Today.
