Award winning author, speaker, historian and preservationist Jonita Mullins will speak at a special lecture at Muskogee's Three Rivers Museum on Thursday, November 17 at 6:30pm. A renowned novelist of historical fiction, Jonita's works deal almost exclusively with storylines featuring the lives of Oklahoma's Native American population.
Her first novel series was "The Mission of Indian Territory" and included Journey to an Untamed Land, Look Unto the Fields and Come to Lovely County; telling the real-life stories of the first missionaries and school teachers in Oklahoma working at Union Mission among the Osages and Cherokees.
Since then, there have been more books including The Jefferson Highway in Oklahoma; The Historic Osage Trace sharing the roots of today's Route 69, the Granddaddy Road through Oklahoma and Oklahoma Originals, a collection of over 80 brief biographies of Oklahoma's famous and infamous men and women.
In celebration of Muskogee's Sesquicentennial as well as Native American Heritage Month, Three Rivers Museum will present Jonita lecturing about her new book Muskogee, The Indian Capital. Admission is free and the first 40 attendees will receive a free copy of the book. Three Rivers Museum is located at 220 Elgin Street.
