Originally set aside by treaty as Indian Territory, the rich fertile land attracted vast hordes of homesteaders after the Civil War -- not just homesteaders, but cattlemen, railroad men and opportunists. Army forces patrolled to keep out the militant trespassers -- Boomers -- determined to force their way into Oklahoma Lands. Lon Tinkle describes this epic struggle as he relates the history of a great Midwestern state.'' BINDING/CONDITION: tan cloth; this does not have the usual series device, just title and small vignette; the top edge tint is yellow; a Very Good book, with a Good+ dust jacket.
