Up for sell is a scarce, original 1954 First Edition of "The Early History of Ada" by J. Hugh Biles. This foundational volume of Oklahoma regional Americana was published directly by the Oklahoma State Bank of Ada to commemorate their 50th Anniversary milestone, resulting in a limited print run distributed primarily to local residents and patrons.

Compiled by the advertising manager of the Ada Evening News, this highly collectible book contains a comprehensive history of the area alongside 64 pages of rare, historic early photographs of the citizens, buildings, and pioneer industries of Ada.

Condition:
The book itself is structurally sound with a strong binding and clean, crisp interior pages. The original paper dust jacket is present but shows noticeable wear, including chipping, creasing, and paper loss along the upper spine and top edges as shown in the photographs. Please review the photos carefully to assess condition details.

A fantastic, hard-to-find piece of Pontotoc County and Oklahoma frontier history for your collection!
