A native of Lynchburg, Virginia, Senator Owen was born Febru­ ary 2, 1856, the son of Robert L. Owen, president of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, and of Narcissa Clarke Chisholm. While a member of a distinguished family of Cherokee descent, Senator Owen was not a child of wealth, and upon the death of his father when the boy was but sixteen years old, it was due to his own initiative, and to his mother's determination that he was able to complete his education. In appreciation of the efforts of his mother, and of the scholarships which were awarded him, Senator Owen applied himself diligently to his studies, graduating from Washing­ ton and Lee University as valedictorian of his class. Because Robert L. Owen found it difficult to speak in public, he enrolled as a member of the debater's team at Washington and Lee. Upon his first appearance in that role, after a smooth, elo­ quent delivery by his opponent, he stood up and began, "Mr. Presi­ dent and gentlemen-" and then to his consternation, not another word could he utter ; presently there came from one corner of the hall, and then another, the derisive calls of the students, finally culminating in loud applause. Robert L. Owen stood his ground; stood until it was so quiet in the room he could have heard a pin drop, and then, his brainstorm having subsided, he began his speech-a speech that run far over the time alloted, but no one thinking to call time on him. He won the medal that day; perhaps because the judges respected a boy who would not let a momentary weakness sub­ jugate him. The spirit that was shown on the platform that day, was to stay with Senator Owen throughout his long, distinguished career; It came with him to the Indian Territory, shortly after his graduation from Washington and Lee, and where he rendered great service to the Cherokee Nation and the Territory, and later to the State. In l880, Senator Owen reorganized the Cherokee Nation School system, supervising it until 1885; in that year he became United States Indian Agent for the Five Civilized Tribes, and settled thou• sands of civil cases in Indian Territory by a system of compulsory arbitration, which· he established in the absence of a court system, between 1885 and 1889. In 1889 he primarily aided in the est.ab· lishment of the first United States Court in Indian Territory, and Oklalwmtis First SenatoT Die, 179 was secretary of the first bar as&>ciation of that territory. In 1889, as fiscal agent of the Choctaw Nation, he disbursed the net proceeds fund, under a bond of a million dolla~. In February, 1900, the eastern Cherokees of Indian Territory employed Senator Owen to represent the Tribe in their famous case against the United States. Eminent attorney's had failed to ob­ tain judgment for the Cherokees, but Senator Owen presented their claims in such a way that he won for them a complete victory in May, 1906, whereby the United States Government was compelled to pay to the eastern Cherokees, the amount of nearly five million dollars. Later he was one of the attorneys for the western Chero­ kees in a recovery for them of over $800,000.00; in 1893 he secured, as an attorney in control of the leased district case for the Ch~taws and Chickasaws, about three million dollars in payment for the leased district lands. It was only natural that a man who had rendered such services to the Territory, should be elected to represent the people in that area as one of the first Senator's to represent the new state in Washington after the State of Oklahoma was erected in 1907. In Washington, the erect handsome Senator from Oklahoma played an important part in National politics. He had a leading part in guiding the enactment of the Federal Reserve Bank Act; the farm loan and the child labor laws. He served three terms in the Senate. In late years, although broken in health, and handicapped by failing vision, and the loss of his wife, he maintained his interest in World affairs. His latest dream was to perfect a global alphabet, based on phoenetics, which would enable the people all around the world to speak together. It was stated that Senator Owen had spent more than $25,000 of his own money in working on that project. The nearest surviving relatives of Senator Owen, are his daugh­ ter, Mrs. Dorothea Whittemore, and a grandson, Robert L. Owen III, Washington.. D. C. Private funeral services were held in Washington, July 21, 1947, and interment at Lynchburg, Virginia. 180 Chronicle, o/ Oklalaoma SA VE THE HISTORICAL RECORDS By Charles EtJaM The Oklahoma Historical Society has from its very beginning, stressed the importance of preserving old letters, old documents and books telling of Oklahoma, past and present. Not any of these should be destroyed in any way or form, or by av.Y individual, county, state or the Nation, until the Historical Society could be given the opporiunity to pass upon their worth. - News that records relating to the Five Civilized Tribes were burned at Muskogee recently, b1ought the following comment by the D.aily Okl,ahoman in an edi­ torial in its issue of July 18, 1947 : SAVE THE HISTORICAL RECORDS The Indian Bureau is privileged to do as it pleases with the old records that have been accumulating and pUlng up in Oklahoma for more than a century. When these records have outlived their usefulness and it ls only a 100-to-one chance that they will ever be needed again, the Indian Bureau la juetlfled In carting off and destroying the old files to make storage room for new business. During the current modernization of the various Indian Agencies in Oklahoma, in which one principal purpose seems to be to center the accounting and record keeping in fewer main offices, it is likely that many letters, maps, and documents, grants, orders, surveys, and other records made from 1820 to 1889, may be lost ln the shuffle. These records may not be worth a thin dime to the Indian bureau officially, n.nd there is no likeli­ hood that one page of the old records will ever require another official equlnt, yet many of these records are tremendously valuable to those in­ terested in keeping early Oklahoma history straight. Before the Indian Bureau hauls off and burns any of the old records, the Oklahoma Historical Society should be invited to inspect them. County, district, and tribal unite of the society likewise should be alert to the project. Some of the records concerning the Five Civilized Tribes, dealing with their removal, resettlement, allotments, courts, missions, schools, graveyards, and individual or family status already have been disposed of In the cleaning up process In the Muskogee office. Much more of this work Is going on, not only in Muskogee, but in Pawnee, Anadarko, Wewoka, and other Indian business centers. We feel certain that the Indian bureau authorities will be glad to cooperate with the historical groups In saving any records that may be · valuable to the state's historical record. The society, hQwever, at least will have to make requests for permission to eu.mlne the papers before they are junked for all time. Such names as Skullyvllle, Tobucksy, Blue, Boktuklo, Eagle, Gaines, and Cedar may mean nothing to the Indian bureau now or In the future, but to the people of the old Choctaw Nation they mean a great deal. In the old Cherokee Nation such county names as Goingsnake, Saline, Coowees­ coowe, Canadian and Flint likely never will have to be referred to again offlclally but the Ute and programs of the Cherokees more than a century ago centered around those names and their achievements, and made an Important contribution to the present day Oklahoma and Its history all along the llD..

    Tor in Oklahoma all the experiences that went into the making of the nation have been speeded up. Here all the American traits have been intensified.The one who can interpret Oklahoma can grasp the meaning of America in the modern world." —Angie Debo, Oklahoma: Footloose and Fancy Free, 1949 Every one of these United States touts its unique place in the American Story, but few have as curious a history as Oklahoma. Its place on the continent would have predicted statehood much sooner than 1907, when Oklahoma became the 46th Star. But the federal Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the establishment of an Indian Territory would put the land on a different path, diverging from the logical progression of the white man's Manifest Destiny. csnl^afo /jeu-cr The relocated tribes were promised their new land "as long as the waters run" by U.S. treaty. The tribes would find the promise broken in the latter years of the nineteenth century when Indian Territory saw the breakup of reservations, and then in the early twentieth century when the collective tribes were denied a state of their own. Instead, the territory would join with Oklahoma Territory to form the new state. When areas of the territories were opened for settlement through land runs and lotteries, African Ameri­ cans came to fulfill the promise of equality, only to see the promise shattered with the establishment of Jim Crow laws. Even the "promised land" promoted during the runs and lotteries would ultimately lead to broken dreams for many Euro-Americans, who would see desperate hardship in the depression, drought, and farm crisis of the 1930s.

Anthropology and history contain the most knowledge pertaining to American Indians, derived from their long traditions of scholarship focusing on American Indians. The other social sciences are far behind. Consequently our social science knowledge about American Indian peoples and their concerns is not balanced but biased by the disciplinary perspectives of anthropology and history. The likelihood that American society contains little realistic knowledge about contemporary American Indians in comparison to knowledge about traditional and historical American Indians is perhaps a function of this disciplinary imbalance.

  • Dragoo-Butterfield Overland Mail Route
    THE CHRONICLES OF OKLAHOMA Marking the Butterfeld: Retracing the Indian Territory Segment of the 1858–61 Butterfeld Overland Mail Stagecoach Road By Susan Penn Dragoo* In May 2018 the United States National Park Ser- vice recommended that the Butterfeld Overland Mail Stagecoach Road be designated a National Historic Trail, becoming a part of a system of modern trails that follow as closely as possible to the original routes of travel. The Butterfeld Overland Mail Company operated on the south- ern route from 1858 to 1861 and ran approximately 2,800 miles from Saint Louis, Missouri, to San Francisco, California. It was the frst successful overland enterprise to effciently and consistently connect the eastern United States with the west coast for mail delivery and passenger service, a need prompted by the huge migration to the Pa- cifc coast after the discovery of gold in California in 1848. It was also the longest stage line of its time, created signifcant infrastructure, and was a major infuence in the opening of the West.1 One hundred ninety-two miles of the Butterfeld line traversed Indian Territory, entering the Choctaw Nation from Fort Smith, Ar- 44 BUTTERFIELD OVERLAND MAIL ROUTE kansas, and crossing the Red River into Texas at Colbert’s Ferry, south of present-day Durant. Oklahoma historian Muriel H. Wright wrote in The Chronicles of Oklahoma in 1933 that if a straight-edge were placed on a map of southeastern Oklahoma between Fort Smith and Old Boggy Depot (representing a signifcant portion of the Butterfeld trail through Oklahoma), the route of the trail would deviate little from that line.

The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events.

These types Tretain their characteristics to this day, perhaps, largely, because groups of relatives friends and neighbors settled in one section and gave a dominant tinge in creed, church and custom. The sons and daughters of these families married, and creed and custom grew stronger from year to year. Thus the Scotch-Irish, a people of Scotch origin, though living in Ireland for many years before the American emigration, settled in many parts of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and what is now East Tennessee, in great numbers and impressed their Presbyterian faith upon their posterity.

  • University Microfilms International 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily d vendant upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image o f the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4 . The m ajority o f users indicate th at the textual content is o f greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
