Cement Stories: "The Bootlegger"
by Terissa K. Morrow
Based on true events
Based on true events and built from extensive newspaper research and local histories, Cement Stories: "The Bootlegger" reconstructs one of the most volatile periods in early Oklahoma history. Through the eyes of lawmen, merchants, farmers, bootleggers, and ordinary townspeople, the book explores how quickly a small town can fracture when loyalty, pride, politics, and fear collide.
Cement Stories is an independently published series rooted in Cement, Oklahoma, Caddo County — rebuilt from newspapers, local histories, and genealogical research. Built from what the papers and local histories support.
Newspaper research
Built from extensive newspaper archives — obituaries, court reports, and the day-to-day record of a small town under pressure.
Cement, Oklahoma
Rooted in Caddo County — Cement's mills, mercantiles, and farm roads, not generic Oklahoma backdrop.
Genealogy & local history
Cemetery walks, family trees, and local histories — the same method Terissa uses tracing lines back through the records.
