I grew up with the kids of people who were featured in Grann's book Killers Of the Flower Moon.
Robopocalypse by Wilson - Fiction, although he claimed he lived there for a while - he got A LOT of stuff wrong, namely that the Cherokee and Osage have a long standing feud similar to the Hatfields and McCoys.
