Yes, Little Axe Public Schools are lucky to have Kent Thompson teaching Oklahoma history. When my book was published, he was one of the first to call then shelve my book. His direct ancestor, R.W. Thompson, lived about a mile from Col. James Bourland and served as a lieutenant in Bourland's Regiment.

We need more teachers and coaches with a passion for history that Kent exhibits. And by the way, Kent is also a high school coach.
