  • MEDFORD, OKLAHOMA, 1919-1940 by DEBRA DOWNING Bachelor of Arts Southern Nazarene
    AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS: MEDFORD, OKLAHOMA, 1919-1940 By DEBRA DOWNING Bachelor of Arts Southern Nazarene University Bethany, Oklahoma 1995 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1997 AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS: MEDFORD, OKLAHOMA, 1919-1940 Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE The history of a small farming community such as Medford, Oklahoma, is significant to western history for a number of reasons. Medford developed as a typical southern plains town, experiencing boom and bust cycles, and growth and decline. Market, weather, and population patterns affected the prosperity of the town, and as such are good examples of how these phenomena affected a rural, agricultural community in the Southern Plains. Land hungry pioneers established Medford during the Cherokee Strip land rush of 1893. This land rush opened additional Indian lands to white settlement. Overnight the prairie became towns and farms as thousands of eager and optimistic souls sought their future on free lands. Most of these people either had a farming background or aimed to acquire one. The land was only marginally suitable for agriculture during some years, and in fact the United States government had sent explorers into the region early in the nineteenth century, and these men had labeled the region the Great American Desert. Medford residents would learn just what this label meant as they plowed iii up the ground and sought to feed their families and build homes. An agricultural boom occurred in the United States during World War I, as the demand for food to support the war effort, and the mechanization of agriculture, prompted what some have called the great plow-up.

  • Northwest Ordinance 1797- Above the Ohio River: OH, IN, IL, MI, WI
    F304 Building America: The Pursuit of Land from 1607-1893 Class Notes 3 for: F304 Building America Northwest Territory- Northwest Ordinance 1797- Above the Ohio River: OH, IN, IL, MI, WI. Slavery was prohibited. It was considered to be one of the most important legislative acts of the Confederation Congress, it established the precedent by which the Federal government would be sovereign and expand westward with the admission of new states, rather than with the expansion of existing states and their established sovereignty under the Articles of Confederation. It was also precedent setting legislation with regard to American public domain lands. The U.S. Supreme Court recognized the authority of the Northwest Ordinance of 1789 within the applicable Northwest Territory as constitutional in Strader v. Graham, 51 U.S. 82, 96, 97 (1851), but did not extend the Ordinance to cover the respective states once they were admitted to the Union. The 1784 ordinance was criticized by George Washington in 1785 and James Monroe in 1786. Monroe convinced Congress to reconsider the proposed state boundaries; a review committee recommended repealing that part of the ordinance. Other politicians questioned the 1784 ordinance's plan for organizing governments in new states, and worried that the new states' relatively small sizes would undermine the original states' power in Congress. Other events such as the reluctance of states south of the Ohio River to cede their western claims resulted in a narrowed geographic focus. Territory: Kentucky- ceded from Virginia. Kentucky 1774-1810: Before 1775, the territory of Kentucky (and OH, IL, IN, MI, and WI) were all part of the colony of Virginia.

  • The Story of Buffalo Point
    Buffalo Point Waukomis, Oklahoma THE STORY OF BUFFALO POINT THE DREAM / Mo and Richard’s Vision The dream for the project begins with Richard’s yearning to buy some farmland, property on which to raise cattle. He was drawn to his home town of Waukomis, Oklahoma, not only because of his family ties and fond childhood memories, but also because of the historical significance of the area. This section of Oklahoma was home to herds of wild, grazing buffalo, Cherokee Indians, The Chisholm Trail and The Land Run of 1893. The vision began as a simple farm, nothing elaborate, a family retreat. It could be a home for his brother, Charles and wife Pam, with a separate home for Richard and Mo. Waukomis holds a very dear and tender place in Mo’s heart as well. She also was raised in this agricultural community and it was here that she met Richard and their lives together began. Her dream was to help the community. To encourage positive development in the area and which, like many small rural towns, was fading into history with vacated store fronts and homes. Stories that Richard shared with me while we made the 2 hour trip from the airport to Waukomis, to develop the project, were filled with history and humor. I learned much about the Land Run and The Cherokee Outlet of 1893 as we traveled through Kingfisher. We imagined the 100,000 hungry persons gathering for the land run by horse, train, and wagon and even on foot. Each hoped to claim the best farmland.
