FRANK LESLIE'S ILLUSTRATED, New York, Oct. 5, 1893 

* Oklahoma land rush 
* Sooners - boomers
* Cherokee Strip


The full front page is a print of the: "...Porch of the Louisiana State Building" at the Columbian Exposition.  Prints within include: "Sketches in the Children's Building" at the Chicago Columbian Exposition; a nice centerfold print of two yachts in the "Coming International Race for the America's Cup".
Perhaps the best content is a full page of 8 photos of: "The Occupation of the Cherokee Strip" showing the rush for land in Oklahoma.
Sixteen pages, very nice condition.
