Grassroots Clippings from Oklahoma Green Country

About the Book

Grassroots Clippings from Oklahoma Green Country is a collection of essays and political commentary in the form of editorial letters appearing in the Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise over a period of 12 years. They chronicle the political events of the times, mainly the Clinton presidential years, as seen through the eyes of a diehard Democrat living in a Republican stronghold. Passionately partisan, they present a folk narrative of history for political “junkies.”
