About this ebook
FROM GUNSHOT TO HOMESTEAD is book one of an eight book series, DEEP FORK RIVER, OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.
This series took place in a unique period of history when new land was deeded on the basis of a gunshot and a footrace. The central nugget of land in the Oklahoma Territory was advertised for settlement, quarter sections were marked out and on the 22 of April, l889 the local Cavalry and other officials started the race at the shot of a gun. On foot... on horses in wagons and in buggies, they struggled for a place to put down roots.
Each of these books brings a different family, person, or in one incident, a whole town to settle in the new land. The small town fictional town of Prosper was settled by these immigrants and others. It is generally thought that this incident was the only one of its kind in history.

The author has published a number of adult historical fiction books but finds a unique pleasure in creating juveniles designed for little girls. It was fun to relive the real and imagined pleasure of her own childhood with native animals and the woodland's great climbing trees...along with sketching remembered scenes. Toss in a couple dozen "cousins" visiting for the summer, stir in a voracious reader in the form of her great-granddaughter, Madison Ann, and you have a perfect formula for fun. Eight year old Madison is busily accumulating her own ideas and skills, and could there someday be a twin to the adventures of the Wildwood Village Summer?
