She was a scholar who, as she once said, sought “to discover the truth and publish it.” She did and not everyone liked it.Angie Debo was not born in Oklahoma. Like so many early settlers she came from some where else. She was born January 30, 1890 on a farm about 20 miles south of Manhattan, Kansas. When she was nine her father bought a farm near Marshall, Oklahoma Territory. Her father and mother, Edward and Lina Debo, along with Angie and her younger brother moved to Indian Territory in a covered wagon.
