She said it was promised to the Native American for as long as the grass grows and the rivers run but had been overwhelmed with an agregation of monkey like creatures around 1889 bent on destroying and obsessed with profitering. The circus was, just two short years later from the date of 1905 you mention named Oklahoma City. Matthew Richter k. genz wrote: > > I have question that perhaps someone can answer.
