Oklahoma City was founded in a single day, April 22, 1889. On that "Wild and Wooley" morning, thousands of desperate people descended upon the 320 teaming, chaotic acres that would become the state's largest city. Merchants, bankers, newspaper men and lawyers literally fought for city lots alongside Saloon keepers, gamblers and prostitutes in "Hell's Half Acre."
From conquistadors looking for gold to migrant workers looking for a better life, many travelers from South and Central America have made Oklahoma their home. From a Congressional Medal of Honor winner to the one man responsible for bringing Mexican restaurants to Oklahoma City, Back in Time is celebrating "Hispanic Oklahoma."
Oklahoma and baseball are inseparable. Mantle and Bench are Oklahoma's most recognizable names, but there are forgotten legends like Iron Joe McGinnity, Harry the Cat, Pepper, Whitey, and the Super Chief. Back in Time remembers the boys of summer who played The Old Ball Game.
Over a hundred years ago, thousands of people crossed Oklahoma on wagon trains on their way to find California gold. Art Peters is an amateur archaeologist who has devoted his life to finding the remnants they left behind and the stories they tell.
Back in Time is a documentary series that showcases significant people, situations, eras, and events that helped shape the history of the state of Oklahoma.
