Oliver Knight Author

Oliver Knight was for several years a newspaperman in Fort Worth, Texas, before an earlier commitment to history finally caught up with him. In 1951 he enrolled as a freshman in the University of Oklahoma, and two years later completed the B.A. degree with distinction. In 1953 he also published a full-statured book, Fort Worth: Outpost on the Trinity (University of Oklahoma Press), one year prior to obtaining an M.A. in history. He has since received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Wisconsin and is now assistant professor of journalism in Indiana University.
