The cover shows the laying of street car tracks in downtown
Bartlesville in l908. Other photographs include a steam
locomotive pulling rail cars loaded from cowcatcher
to caboose with settlers, and a downtown Lawton patriotic
parade, a sod school house in Blaine County.
But one of the favorite photos is the first church
service in Perry, Oklahoma within weeks after the Run
l893. The picture of the outdoor service shows men on
horseback and some women with parasols and some with
rifles.
There are two great pictures of downtown small towns
teeming with horses, wagons and settlers waiting for
the start of the Cherokee Outlet Land Run in l893.
The l2 sidebars provide a first hand chronicle of
a Philadelphian by way of Florida who came to Oklahoma
Territory in l889 to "take in the run." He
and hundreds of others participated in the Great Land
Run that virtually opened the Oklahoma territory.
