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.
