SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn with Michael J. Hightower\, author of Justice for All: Dick T. Morgan\, Frontier Lawyer and Common Man’s Congressman
DESCRIPTION:Join the Oklahoma Territorial Museum for a Lunch and Learn program with Michael J. Hightower. Hightower will be discussing and signing his newest release Justice for All: Dick T. Morgan\, Frontier Lawyer & Common Man’s Congressman. \nJustice for All chronicles the career of Dick T. Morgan\, an Oklahoma founding father whose public service reflects a passion for fairness that was sorely lacking in Gilded Age America. After arriving in the Unassigned Lands (later\, central Oklahoma) with the first wave of non-Indian settlers on April 22\, 1889\, Morgan developed a reputation as the go-to lawyer for land disputes\, built a substantial real estate business\, and promoted church-building across Oklahoma Territory. During his tenure in Congress from 1909 until his death in 1920\, he helped create institutions central to progressivism in the post-frontier period and shaped modern America\, including the Federal Reserve System\, the Federal Trade Commission\, and the Federal Farm Credit System. \nAbout the author: \n\nMichael J. Hightower\, PhD\, is an independent historian and biographer. As a scholar and descendant of pioneer bankers\, his fields of interest include the American frontier\, banking\, and law. \nMichael holds degrees from Washington and Lee University\, the University of Denver\, Oklahoma State University\, and the University of Virginia. He has been a teacher and coach at college preparatory schools in Denver and Tulsa\, founder and president of Council Oak Books in Tulsa\, communications director for the Tulsa Metro Chamber\, and a visiting lecturer in Sociology at UVA. Nowadays\, when he’s not writing in his home office just down the road from Monticello\, he’s likely to be riding his horse or prowling through archives in his home state of Oklahoma\, where most of his books are based and his family enterprises are headquartered. \nMichael lives with his wife\, Judy\, in Charlottesville and Oklahoma City. \nThe book’s foreword was written by Dr. Bob Blackburn\, former executive director of the Oklahoma Historical Society. Proceeds from the book will be given to the Friends of the Oklahoma History Center. \nThis event is free to the public and registration is not required. The Oklahoma Territorial Museum is located at 406 E. Oklahoma Ave. in Guthrie. For more information\, please call 405-282-1889. \n  \nAny views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed during the program do not necessarily represent those of the Oklahoma Historical Society. \n\n
