Senator: 1876-1965 ÒThe Life and Career of Elmer ThomasÓ expounds the incredible life and times of Senator John William Elmer Thomas, one of AmericaÕs most committed and influential politicians and its unsung heroes. Elmer Thomas was from a generation that not only helped to build the country but also devoted his life to serving it. This book is a thorough examination of the events and influences that shaped him from his early days growing up on a farm in Indiana to his travels in the Wild West and Oklahoma where he took up residence. It was here that he was elected to the Oklahoma state senate (1927-1951) and ultimately became a member of the US Congress and later the US Senate.
