Your Ancestors are waiting to be
Discovered.
Most of Oklahoma was set aside
as Indian Territory before the Civil War. It was opened for general settlement
around 1890—the "Sooners" were settlers who jumped the gun. Statehood
came to the poor ranching and farming state in Oklahoma, but soon oil was
discovered and new wealth poured in.
On a personal note in the 1890's my Great
Grandfather, Franklin Rouse, left Iowa in a wagon with his wife, Estella, and 2
babies (Harry & Stanley), pulled by a team of horses with a milk cow tethered
to the back of the wagon (Horse's and Cow names not known). They sold their farm in Iowa and left in pursuit
of a new life of farming on free land in Oklahoma. When they arrived they found houses made of
adobe and not a tree in sight. Farming the drought stricken land didn't look
promising so they headed back through Kansas and Nebraska and within 1 year came back to settle in Lucas
County, Iowa. I still have family all
over South-Central Iowa including Lucas.
Had my Great Grandfather taken the free land and stuck
it out in Oklahoma, he would have been one of the many oil barons of that
region and I wouldn't be writing about it.
Instead I would be counting all my millions at the tune of $3.85 per
gallon of gasoline....Thanks Grandpa !
