Salt of the Earth

by Bernadette Pruitt (Editor)

THE SALT OF THE EARTH is a series of profiles of Oklahomans who are the last link to another time. Their values are yesterday's, their beliefs, livelihoods and lifestyles are yesterday's. From the Old World tailor to the country doctor who still makes house calls to the last surviving pureblood Quapaw man, they represent Oklahoma as it used to be. Some are still plodding behind the plow, riding the range before sunrise and preaching the Gospel from a tent. All are among the last of their kinds.
