"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."
