关于我们

During its more than ninety years of continuous operation, the University of Oklahoma Press has gained international recognition as an outstanding publisher of scholarly literature. It was the first university press established in the Southwest, and the fourth in the western half of the country. The Press began as the idea of William Bennett Bizzell, fifth president of the University of Oklahoma and a wide-ranging humanist and book collector. Over the years, the Press has grown from a staff of one–the first director, Joseph A. Brandt–to an active and capable team of almost thirty-five members. Building on the foundation laid by our previous directors, OU Press continues its dedication to the publication of outstanding scholarly works. The major goal of the Press is to strengthen its position as a preeminent publisher of books about the American West and Native Americans, while expanding its program in other scholarly disciplines, including classical studies, military history, political science, and natural science.

    Yesterday we learned of the death of longtime OUP author, W. David Baird. We join our colleagues at Pepperdine University and beyond who mourn Baird's passing. Please read the following tribute by his former student, mentee, and OUP author, Patricia Loughlin. --------- With deep sadness and a heavy heart I write to let you know that distinguished historian Dr. W. David Baird, University of Oklahoma alumnus, former Oklahoma Historical Society board member, and Seaver College Dean Emeritus and Howard A. White Professor Emeritus of History at Pepperdine University, passed away on Friday, November 15, 2024. David was a mentor to me at Pepperdine and introduced me to the fields of western history, Native history, and Oklahoma history. Born in Edmond, Oklahoma, Baird received the A.A. degree from George Washington University in 1959, the B.A. in history and geography from the University of Central Oklahoma in 1961, the M.A. in history and geography from the University of Oklahoma in 1965, and the Ph.D. in history and geography from the University of Oklahoma in 1969. Baird held appointments on the history faculty at the University of Arkansas (1968-1978) and Oklahoma State University (1978-1988) before joining the faculty at Seaver College, Pepperdine University, as the Howard A. White Professor of History in 1988. He became Dean of Seaver College in 1998, a position he held until 2008. Baird’s scholarly record includes fourteen books, most recently The Quest for Distinction: Pepperdine University in the Twentieth Century (2016) and Churches of Christ in Oklahoma: A History (2020). Baird’s publications in American Indian history include Peter Pitchlynn: Chief of the Choctaws (1972) and The Quapaw Indians: A History of the Downstream People (1980). Baird’s contributions to Oklahoma history include The Story of Oklahoma (1994, 2007, 2020), an award-winning textbook for junior high and high school students, and Oklahoma: A History (2008), for general readers, both coauthored by Danney Goble. Baird has served as executive director of the American Historical Association, Pacific Coast Branch (1996-2004), president of the Western History Association (1988-1989), and international president of Phi Alpha Theta (1989-91). When David Baird retired as dean of Seaver College, Pepperdine University created the W. David Baird Distinguished Lecture Series in his honor. No public funeral services are planned at this time.

    Out Now! "Last One Walking: The Life of Cherokee Community Leader Charlie Soap" by Greg Shaw with a prologue by Wilma Mankiller and afterword by Charlie Soap. https://lnkd.in/gQtsyn7e You probably know the story of the late Wilma Mankiller, the first woman to serve as principal chief of the Cherokee Nation. You might not recognize the name of her husband, Charlie Soap, yet his role as a Native community organizer is no less significant. Combining memoir, history, and current affairs, Last One Walking charts for the first time the life and work of this influential Cherokee. In telling this story, author and former journalist Greg Shaw gives voice to his sources. As a longtime colleague and friend of the family, he draws on his many travels and interviews with Soap and on previously unpublished writings, including a Soap family history penned by Mankiller, included here as the book’s prologue. Shaw offers a rich profile of Soap’s singular career—particularly as a champion of water rights. In managing public infrastructure projects, housing assistance, and water development in the Cherokee Nation, Soap has exemplified ga-du-gi, the Cherokee word for community members working together for the collective good. Shaw portrays a dynamic partnership between Soap and Mankiller. Together they reignited community development for the Cherokee people by listening to everyone, including the poorest of the poor, and hearing their pleas for reliable water, a basic human need and a sacred element in Cherokee culture. Charlie Soap’s name in Cherokee, Ohni ai (?? ??), translates as “the last one walking.” In the Cherokee wolf clan, this is the member who trails the rest of the pack to watch for danger and opportunity. The last one walking forms a bond of trust with the pack’s leader. The Native American fight for land has been well chronicled, but the fight for water has not. Last One Walking helps to fill that void with a narrative that is also deeply moving, revealing on every page the spirit of ga-du-gi.
