So you great-grandfather wrote about pre-Landrun history in Oklahoma 60 years after the fact?
 
I think I may actually have that somewhere. I know I have the one about the Enid Railroad War.

That used book store that was next to Whisperin’ Richard’s always had a stack of those for $1. I’d pick up one to read before getting a haircut.

He left Kentucky for Oklahoma on his 21st bday, Feb. 27, 1893. He wrote it as family history, at the request of his sister, with no thought of publication, in 1933. She submitted to the Oklahoma Historical Society, which published (still does) the Chronicles of Oklahoma. He later pioneered in the Texas panhandle, raising cattle and wheat. He wrote this in Texas, died in Texas, age 80.
