"The Late Sooner is a historical fiction based on my great grandfather's diary. Sanford Deering staked a claim in the Unassigned Lands of the Oklahoma Territory four months after the first land opening in 1889. He wrote one line a day in a ledger. They survived the famine of 1890 known as "The Year of the Turnip."

It's almost impossible to imagine the huge numbers of people taking the risk to get land far from their original homes.
Sally Jadlow, your book is very moving and enlightening. Many of your characters suffered heartache and sometimes tragedy. Yet always hope.
