Poor Mr. Dore: A Local Tale Through The Lens of The Frontier Thesis

from Within The Realm · host Steve Garrett

On February 27, 1914, Westville businessman PJ Dore was killed by Tandy Folsom. It's the stuff of local legend, but it serves as an illustration for a larger historical debate. Professor Greg Jackson of the podcast History That Doesn't Suck discusses the Frontier Thesis and opposition to the idea. Then we delve into the legend and how the truth of the matter presents a clash of cultures in the early days of the State of Oklahoma.
