About the Book Lambert's heyday chronices the birth of a small town in the Chrokee strip, Oklahoma Territory, as it was opened to settlemnt at the turn of the century. It became the boyhood home of the author from 1916 until his high school graduation in 1930. He gathers stories from the oldtimers, as he called them, and recalls his own fond memories of school and sports and the colourful people he came to know and love. The author interviewed dozens of early residents, combed through many editions of the local newspaper and searched public documents to present accurate information about this small town he came to love and honor in his memories. Horse and carriage to automobile, championship basketball teams and the happy fever of small town rivalry, from pioneer status to modern america, Lambert had it all. Its a tribute to all small towns across America who nurtured their citizens in the art of intimacy, responsible attitudes towards neighbours and love of family and country. Many or most of those small hamlets barely survive today, but their importance in the development of our great country cannot be measured in gross national product, but simply in the quality of people who shaped the character of this great nation.
