Oklahoma Tough: My Father, King of the Tulsa Bootleggers

Ron Padgett

"Combining biography, personal memories, and a history of the times, Ron Padgett bases his story on interviews with police officers and with those who knew Wayne Padgett, whether friend, foe, or family. He also bases it on newspapers and library, historical society, school, medical, and police records (Wayne Padgett's FBI files run to 1300 pages), as well as on his own vivid memories of growing up with his charismatic father.
