Publisher Description: On a dusty September day in 1893, a gun shot rang out at noon, and more than 100,000 pioneers raced into the Oklahoma Territory to claim a plot of land. James B. Cullison rode swiftly on horseback, and he staked a claim for his family six miles east of Enid. Anchored by courage and dreams, James and Mary Cullison built their home, reared their children, and helped raise up a vibrant frontier community. My grandmother, Jeannette Cullison was born in 1900 and was the youngest of the seven Cullison children. Growing up as the daughter of a prominent judge brought challenges, rewards, tragedy, humor, and young romance. This coming of age biography, with stories passed down from the unique perspective of a young girl, tells about what it was like to experience life in Oklahoma "When the Country Was New." |
