I will reserve judgement about the movie until it comes out.

These events were also touched upon in the movie "The FBI Story" (1959) with James Stewart as the lead.
Excellent book, but I'm afraid the movie will be a flop.
It will be a hit.....nothing more popular in SJW -land then pointing out how despicable rich white men are....so it will be a smash amongst the snowflakes , and MSM
Great book. Read it last summer. Since I was raised in Osage County ranch land, I've recognized some of the family names and asked the descendants about the history. Good friends wife had her great grandfather killed by poison during those times and was mentioned in the book. There is a reason there are some really big ranches in Osage county and some of the reasons are not very pretty.
Kept hoping the book would mention little Las Vegas but it didn't. There is some amazing history in this county and most of it was illegal back in the day.

Excellent. Thank you for the recommendations. I’m always on the hunt for books dealing with the more despicable aspects of our history not often described in almost all western civilization, USA, and Oklahoma history books. One of my favorites, although on a somewhat grander scale, is by Miguel Leon-Portilla called “The Broken Spears”. It’s the Aztec account of the Spanish coming to the so-called New World.
My God, we westerners have done some truly terrible things in our search for, or maybe I should say the creation of, the more perfect society. Or read “Killer Angels” by Micheal Shaara if you like atrocity based history.
