Item # 694579
September 18, 1893
THE DAILY JOURNAL, Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, Sept. 18, 1893 The front page has 1 1/3 columns headed: "IT WAS A MAD SCRAMBLE" "Wild Rush of Boomers Into the Cherokee Strip" "A Number of Persons Killed" " 'Sooners' Get the Corner Lots in Perry--Between Noon and Twilight 100,000 Claims were staked--Nearly 200,000 People in the Rush for Homes".
This is a fine report on the historic The Land Run of 1893 which marked the opening to settlement of the Cherokee Outlet in the Oklahoma Territory's fourth and largest land run. It was part of what would later become the state of Oklahoma in 1907.
Four pages, archivally rejoined at the irregular spine, minor tears & some chipping at margins, fragile and should be handled carefully.
