Summary:

"The opening of the Cherokee Strip in Oklahoma marked one of the last of the great westward migrations. Here in the 1890's came a rush of homesteaders to the opening of new territory and high hopes. The Prawl family were an integral part of this typical American frontier movement, and with them we experience the heroisms and the hardships and the happiness that were the everyday realities of their lot"--Jacket.
