Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largest land grab in American history was the opening of the Cherokee strip in 1893. This book narrates the triumphs and struggles of those days as experienced in the life of Pioneer James Secord's daughter, Mildred, her sibliings, and her own family. The powerful influence of frontier preachers is told as well as the influences of the country school teacher who taught eight grades in one room. The results with the discipline of life in Cherokee Strip produced in the Secord family: college professors, ministers, missionaries, farmers and school teachers. Mildred became a school teacher at Fairview school. She married the Farmer boy who promised to get her away from it all. Starting with Horse and Buggy he went to Model T's, Farms, much Machinery, lots of Livestock, and a large family on Credit. They went through three of the greatest social and economic changes of the 20th Century. Depression, Dust bowl days, WWII. The book is the opposite of Steinbeck's GRAPES OF WRATH. We were in debt too far to sell out. Father taught us to work, Mother taught us to Pray. The Hope of "next year we will get a bigger crop and a better price" happened in WWII. Mildred prayed five boys through the War. When all the boys came home the large family became College professors, Farmers, Ministers and School Teachers just like the pioneer Secord family did a generation earlier.

Download or read book Trail of Tears written by John Ehle and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-06-08 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sixth-generation North Carolinian, highly-acclaimed author John Ehle grew up on former Cherokee hunting grounds. His experience as an accomplished novelist, combined with his extensive, meticulous research, culminates in this moving tragedy rich with historical detail. The Cherokee are a proud, ancient civilization. For hundreds of years they believed themselves to be the "Principle People" residing at the center of the earth. But by the 18th century, some of their leaders believed it was necessary to adapt to European ways in order to survive. Those chiefs sealed the fate of their tribes in 1875 when they signed a treaty relinquishing their land east of the Mississippi in return for promises of wealth and better land. The U.S. government used the treaty to justify the eviction of the Cherokee nation in an exodus that the Cherokee will forever remember as the “trail where they cried.” The heroism and nobility of the Cherokee shine through this intricate story of American politics, ambition, and greed.

Originally published in 1929, and twice made into a motion picture, Cimarron brings history alive, capturing the settling of the American West in vivid detail. With a new foreword by Julie Gilbert.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 16, 1893, over 100,000 people converged on the edges of six million acres just south of the Kansas border, a parcel officially designated the Cherokee Outlet but more commonly called the Cherokee Strip. This was the largest of the rushes, where officials threw open whole parcels of land at one time. The opening of the outlet drew people with a wide mix of motivations. Those who arrived that stifling September found heat, dust, wretched conditions, high prices--and hope. Among them was William Prettyman, whose photographs remain the most stirring record of the event. When the starting gun went off at noon, the blurred images of people and animals racing across the dusty terrain became part of the memory of a whole region.

Download or read book Enid written by Glen V. McIntyre and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enid is the eighth-largest city in Oklahoma and the largest city in northwest Oklahoma. Its origins can be traced to September 16, 1893, the day of the Cherokee Outlet Land Run, when more than 100,000 people raced for six million acres of land. The town quickly grew as inhabitants came to Enid to register claims at the land office. As the seat of Garfield County, Enid was the hub for numerous railroads, including the Rock Island, Santa Fe, and Frisco lines. It was already a prosperous town when in 1916 the Garber-Covington oil field was discovered east of town, guaranteeing that the area would become a center of petroleum production. The community has nurtured interesting people, such as Marquis James, a writer who won two Pulitzer Prizes, and H.H. Champlin, founder of the Champlin Refining Company. Enid: 1893-1945 features these residents' stories and many others that made the period Enid's first golden age.
