What started as a story in Oklahoma Today is now a full-fledged book. Writer Susan Dragoo—a frequent contributor to Oklahoma Today magazine—published her new historical nonfiction account of the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach route, titled Finding the Butterfield: A Journey Through Time In Indian Territory, in July. The old mail route stretched from St. Louis, Missouri, to San Francisco, California, cutting through the Rocky Mountains and a stretch of modern-day Oklahoma in Indian Territory. Dragoo joins this week's podcast to shed some light on the history of the short-lived route and tell us what remains for the curious to see today. Visit susandragoo.com/butterfield-oklahoma for purchasing information.
Also on this week's podcast, the editors discuss the oft-debated topic of Oklahoma's best burger, and in podvents Karlie tells us about a week-long paint party in OKC. You won't want to miss it!
