You may know much about the history of Oklahoma City. But have you seen it?

Turner Publishing recently published a book entitled "Historic Photos of Oklahoma City" with amazing images from early OKC put together by Metropolitan Library System reference librarian Larry Johnson. It's the pictorial narrative of Oklahoma City's history, long-forgotten times displayed in stark black and white.
