A Rare Signed Chronicle of the Oklahoma Frontier

Own a foundational piece of Western Americana. This 1933 first edition by George Rainey is an essential, highly detailed history of the Cherokee Strip in Northwestern Oklahoma.

Fascinating Content: Contains detailed accounts of the "Strip" outlaws, featuring in-depth narratives on the Dalton Gang, Dick Yeager, Ben Cravens, and the historic killing of Ed Short and Charlie Bryant.
