Angie Elbertha Debo (January 30, 1890 – February 21, 1988),[1] was an American historian who wrote 13 books and hundreds of articles about Native American and Oklahoma history.[2] After a long career marked by difficulties (ascribed both to her gender and to the controversial content of some of her books), she was acclaimed as Oklahoma's "greatest historian"[3] and acknowledged as "an authority on Native American history, a visionary, and an historical heroine in her own right."[4]
