2007 Commemorative Stamp Yearbook - Oklahoma Statehood

Megan was read the second story in this book and the story was about Oklahoma. Some of the historic facts she learned was that Oklahoma became the 46th state added to the Union, that there are 50 states total, she learned that the state is nicknamed "the sooner state" and why this is true. That when the government had a land run (late 1800s), some of the people arrived early to claim the land before the designated time. Also, that there are lots of Indians in the state, 350,000 (10% of the population).
