What is OklahombreS?
Formed in 1989, the official purpose of Oklahombres is the careful, correct research and preservation of the lawman and outlaw history of Oklahoma. Oklahombres supports, encourages and promotes education, research, writing and other literary journalistic efforts and endeavors in that portion of Oklahoma history involving lawmen and outlaws.
The OklahombreS name come directly from a book title written by Oklahoma U.S. Marshal E.D. Nix on his recollections of outlaw and lawmen history in Oklahoma. Members of our organization span across the United States and Internationally.
We explore all lawmen and outlaws that operated within the boundaries of Indian and Oklahoma Territories before statehood. The transition between the "Old West" and the "Modern Age" was slow in the infant state of Oklahoma and except preferring to shoot at one another with automatic weapons and chase of elude the other with automobiles, the mind set between the good guy and bad buy did not change until the end of the 1930's. Therefore, we also explore the struggle for dominance between the law and the lawless up to the end of the depression era.
Oklahombres publishes a quarterly historical Journal. Members and non-members regularly contribute material for publication. Oklahombres also regularly host "Rendezvous" field trips near points of historical interest to members and guests. These programs provide a fascinating window into the history of law and order in Oklahoma.
