Notes
Abstract: The year of Oklahoma's Semi-Centennial of Statehood, 1957, promised the opportunity to commemorate the state's colorful history and to promote travel and tourism. The Semi-Centennial Commission planned in advance, but the year's events proved more spectacular than educational. Major expositions in Oklahoma City and Tulsa were mirrored in events in many communities.
