Tar Creek - A History of The Quapaw Indians, the World's Largest Lead and Zinc Discovery, and The Tar Creek Superfund Site.

When this book was conceived, it was intended as a straightforward recounting of the story of the world's greatest discovery of lead and zinc located in the far northeast corner of Oklahoma. I soon realized that this 1915 discovery was strongly linked to prior as well as current events and that those events should be a part of the story. Because of the interconnectedness of the present with the past, the story grew and quickly encompassed the Quapaw Indians and their ancient history, the founding of the United States, the Louisiana Purchase, the transition of Oklahoma and Indian Territories to statehood, the discovery and mining of lead and zinc in the Tri-State region, and the making of the oldest and largest environmental Superfund site in America.
