Banking in Oklahoma, 1907-2000 is a thorough, meticulous, and insightful history from statehood to the turn of the millennium. A native Oklahoman, Michael J. Hightower is uniquely suited to describing economic and community development through the lens of banking. His ancestors include Hightowers and Johnsons whose collective legacy was the First National Bank and Trust Company of Oklahoma City. He complements his documentary research with oral histories that he gathered in interviews with scores of bankers across the state. His book plows new ground in illuminating the issues central to banking and commerce that have shaped the state's history. --H. E. Gene Rainbolt Chairman, BancFirst Corporation
