Description

Cherokee Strip is an August 13, 1933 article from the Kansas City Star is actually titled, "Pioneers Who Made the Run to Cherokee Strip Declare They Have Known Real Hard Times." A. B. Macdonald interviewed men and women who made the run into the Oklahoma territory on Sept. 16, 1893. It was estimated that 10,000 people were held at the border until noon when they were released. All rushed toward the newly laid-out townsite of Newkirk. All home sites were settled on and many lost out. Only 14 of the original settlers were still in Newkirk at the time of the article in 1933. Many people went on to settle the town of Ponca City. Interesting stories of the hardships of the first settlers are included in the article. This item is from the Don Reynolds library.
