We are very pleased to offer Western outlaw and Lawman photographs from the collection of Edward Everett Dale (1879-1972), Oklahoma's premier historian. After graduating from Harvard, E. E. Dale joined the University of Oklahoma as professor of history and as chair of the department. He held a seat on the Oklahoma Historical Society Board of Directors from 1930 to 1972 and twice served as president. As a writer Dale focused on western and Oklahoma history. His many books include The Range Cattle Industry (1930), Cow Country (1942), History of Oklahoma (1948), and Indians of the Southwest (1948). Many of his works remain classics. His service to the history profession included membership on the Meriam Commission, whose job was to survey all Indian reservations, and he co-wrote, with Lewis Meriam, The Problem of Indian Administration (1928). Retirement from the university faculty in 1952 did little to dim Dale's passion for history. Remaining in Oklahoma, he continued to devote his life to publishing, researching, teaching, and collecting the state's history. He donated a photographic collection to University of Oklahoma which can be seen on their website.
