Great pics, and I agree with you about Landry. Loved the guy, but don't have a lot of love for the Cowboys. I'm not a hater though.

Went for a drive around the county on Saturday... It was a beautiful day and warm enough to have the sunroof open so the leaves kept blowing into the car. I started wishing I had a Caramel apple half-way into the drive... We missed the 'peak' colors by a few days but we still had fun.

Here are a couple of pictures of Cromwell. One of those tiny hamlets that you drive through and don't realize you've driven through it until it's gone.

Coming into town, the Baptist church on the right.

Get your gas, pop and cornuts here.

I call this the "fancy" looking store. Always busy in the morning.

LR, The last pic, looks like a "master-bait" shop out toward Duncan Lake.

Cromwell pretty well defined oil boom town. At one time is was a center of organized crime, opium dens, prostitution, bootlegging, graft and murder. It was so bad, the governor called seventy something year old former Federal Marshall Bill Tilghman out of retirement to try and tame it. Just across the road and down main street about 50 ' by that baptist church, he was shot and killed. Unlike other lawman, Tilghman rarely resorted to using violence and during his career killed only two criminals in gunfights. Tilghman, Heck Thomas and Chris Madsen became known as the Three Guardsmen and were largely responsible for wiping out organized crime in Oklahoma. This included the hunting down of Bill Doolin and his gang. It is claimed that Tilghman was paid more reward money than any other law officer. Another famous lawman, Bat Masterson, described Tilghman as "the greatest of us all".

I had no idea about the history of Cromwell. Now I know why I see ghosts there. Found a short bio on Cromwell on the Chronicles of Oklahoma, which I recommend to any history buffs out there.

"The oil-boom town exploded to a population of thousands in a matter of weeks. A post office was established on May 17, 1924. The lawless community soon earned the nickname "Cromwell the Wicked," and legendary lawman William "Bill" Tilghman was asked to come out of retirement at age seventy to establish law and order. "
