When I feel adventurous, I may drive those dirt roads near where the old store and fort were supposed to be.

A little history lesson on Cushing.....
Cushing was in the Sac and Fox Indian Reservation opened to homesteaders on September 21, 1891. Entering the Sac and Fox lands on the opening date on September 22, 1891, William R. Little, born in Illinois, located a homestead of 160 acres on the present site of Cushing, built a home.
HIDEOUT FOR NOTORIOUS OUTLAWS- Euchee Creek, east of Cushing, was once the desolate hiding place for many notorious outlaws because it was on the edge of the Creek Nation, still a wilderness at the opening of the Sac and Fox land, and forbidden to the white man. Bootleggers, horse thieves, cattle rustlers had hideouts there in the timber.

For those of you interested in Oklahoma history, check out the Oklahoma Department of Archives website: Oklahoma State Archives and Records Management - Oklahoma Department of Libraries
Lots of very interesting things there.
The Oklahoma State Library website, which also has lots of great info is here:
Oklahoma Department of Libraries Online
We're in the process of putting online the applications and correspondence between the State and recipients of the Confederate Veterans Pension. It will be a while before that is available, but in the meantime there is lots of other great stuff to read. |
