About this Item

William H Murray / Memoirs of Governor Murray and True History of Oklahoma. Signed 1st edition First Edition. Complete in 3 volumes. 8vo. 400, 570, 713, [48] pp. Index. Photo-illustrations. Blue cloth. Memoirs of the controversial Oklahoma politician William "Alfalfa Bill" Murray (1869-1956). A Democrat, he helped lead Oklahoma to statehood in 1907, served as the state's first Speaker of the House, was elected to the national House of Representatives, then served as Governor from 1931-35. At that time cultural bias, & racial caricatures were ubiquitous hence Murray believes. "The Negro has very little book learning, but he has wonderful practical sense. That is why he makes such a good servant and porter. You take the ordinary Jew. He is wonderfully 'smart' in certain lines . . . but he does not possess the common, practical sense that the Negro has.". Seller Inventory # ky98
