Summary:

"In Chariot of the Sun Catherine Ward Allen tells not only of girlhood adventures in the Indian Territory but also of her father's race into The Cherokee Strip to gain a landhold for himself and his growing family [during the Land Run of 1893 or the Cherokee Outlet Opening]. The result is a drama-packed story that is interesting to all ages, for it is a refreshing true story of an old and precious tale, the opening of the last frontier--Oklahoma, 'The beautiful land.'"--dust jacket.
