Oklahoma's central location makes it a natural crossroads, and the trails of yesterday became the superhighways of today. Perhaps the best example is Route 69, also known as the Jefferson Highway. The paved highway was begun in 1915, but its course was heavily traveled for centuries before that. Engineers could map no better path than the generations who cut it through the wilderness out of necessity. Author Jonita Mullins leads a journey along this ancient way that recalls some of Oklahoma's most important history and celebrates some of its most fascinating characters.

In this Western from Charles G. West, blood beats all—except justice. . . . Outlaw Roy Blanton’s raised his four boys in the family business since they were half-pints—and they’ve gotten away with murder. That is, until U.S. Deputy Marshal Casey Dixon had hot-headed Billy, the youngest, hanged for shooting a policeman. Now the Blantons have vengeance on their minds. Old Buck Avery, Dixon’s partner, has been thinking of turning in his badge, and taking down the Blanton name sounds like a fine way to leave the law on a high note. But it’s going to get bloody—because the house of Blanton isn’t going to fall without a fight. . . .
