I am compiling information for a book on Pioneer women and their families who came to Oklahoma before 1907. I am looking for information on: Any woman who made any of the Oklahoma land runs and got land in her own name. Any family who made any of the 5 land runs or obtained land in one of the lotteries. Any family who got Indian allotment land Any family who was in Indian Territory or Oklahoma Territory before 1907. Any family who started a business in those early days. I would welcome any information from just their names and the dates that they were in Oklahoma to family histories, family stories, letters, diaries and etc. If the information requires a download please contact me before sending it. Please put Pioneer Spirit in the subject line so message won't be missed.
