Our Father: Stirring Tales, Amusing Anecdotes, Historical Tidbits and Odd Ramblings Inspired by the Lives of the Honorable John M. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781544008479)

Descended from German immigrants who crossed the Atlantic in 1732, the Honorable John M. Amick grew up on the Cherokee Strip in northern Oklahoma near the claim staked by his grandparents in the Land Run of 1893. From the humblest of beginnings he became one of Oklahoma's most respected trial judges. Along the way he became known as a humorist and story-teller. Many of his favorite tales are re-told here, such as the day Jesus Christ came to the Grant County Courthouse, the Oklahoma City bombing, and other tales of courtroom drama, small-town heroism at home and abroad, snake bites, airplane crashes, floods, Cherokee history, and glimpses of life in Indian Territory and early Oklahoma.
