by Gary D. Courtney (Author) A study in linguistics, lifestyle, sociology, and history of our heritage. "The Cookson Hills Dictionary" provides the reader an insight to the hard-working, God-fearing, ingenious, inventive, and adventurous pioneers, who built the foundation of the country we enjoy today. Some of the terms we use now originated during Medieval times, over 600 years ago, and the source of terms are documented, where available. Originally begun and intended as a small glossary in the back of Gary Courtney's book on the Cookson Hills history, the collection became a full-fledged book on its own, thanks to the contributions of local residents and Gary's Oklahoma roots.
