"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."

Railroads in Oklahoma

The first railroad across the Indian Territory was built in 1871 from Vinita to Durant. Others came in 1882 and 1887. The Santa Fe line ran through the Unassigned Lands. Without the railroads, the land run of 1889 may never have happened.
