It chronicles the development of the town from the earliest settlers in the region through the height of the Roaring Twenties. Within this book, readers will find stories of Indians and outlaws, covered wagons and coyotes and even a dash from The Gilded Age. Our goal is to tell the story of Poteau in a way that vividly describes the early history of the town, while at the same time helping the reader understand Poteau's broader place in Oklahoma's history.
