THE PONTOTOC CONSPIRACY

ADA, OKLA. October 9, 2003 — The last bullet-scarred days of Indian Territory and the first years of frontier Oklahoma are the backdrop for The Pontotoc Conspiracy, a historical novel about the crime that shocked not only a brand new state, but the nation. The Pontotoc Conspiracy recounts the unsettled conditions in the last part of Indian Territory, including Pontotoc County, heart of the Chickasaw Nation, where distant, florida land sale, courts and thin law enforcement brought many to administer their own personal justice.
