Synopsis

Discover how Tulsa County mobilized for war and helped shape the home front in Oklahoma.

This book offers a detailed look at how Tulsa and surrounding communities organized, funded, and volunteered during the World War era. It highlights local councils, defense groups, Red Cross work, and the people who kept essential services running while the nation mobilized for battle. The story blends civic effort with practical impact, showing how citizens supported soldiers, workers, and families at home.

Readers will see the wide reach of wartime activity—from draft boards and employment services to Liberty Bond campaigns and relief drives. It also chronicles the partnerships between local government, business, and volunteers that sustained war production and relief efforts in the region.

• How local draft and employment systems organized labor and matched workers to national needs


• The roles of Red Cross, Liberty Loans, and welfare programs in supporting troops and families


• Key wartime organizations and community campaigns that shaped Tulsa’s home front


• Profiles of statewide and county-level governance that guided war efforts
