Duchess of Weaselskin

It has been quiet around southwest Colorado with some sunshine making a return around here. On those sunny days I like to find a sunny, dry spot outside to take a nap and watch over my yard here in the rockies. NW Okie sure can sneak up on me during one of those times as shown in the photo on the left. We hear it was quite windy last week in northwest Oklahoma, but did it bring much rain?

NW Okie is taking you back to Highland county, Virginia this week with more history of the Indian Perils of Bath and Highland areas. She is also sharing an Abstract of Legislative Work & Sen. Robert L. Owen (1907-1912) that she found when digging through some of the boxes of her Grandma's that are in storage. Here is a link to the PDF file of the Abstract of Legislative Work In Which Senator Robert L. Owen Actively Participated, 16 December 1907 to 1 March 1912, when Oklahoma had just become a State of the Union.

Then there is the case of Charlie Bias, which was one of those cases that Moman Pruiett defended back in 1899, in Southern Oklahoma, in which Moman Pruiett took it all the way to the US Supreme Court, January 1900.

Then we have this week another Oklahoma Pioneer taken from the History of Oklahoma published in 1916. Edwin Roberts settled around Woodward and had a hand in establishing Avard State Bank and served as mayor of Avard, Oklahoma as a Progressive Democrat.

Happy Belated Birthday to NW Okie on her 64th, and Happy Leap Year Tomorrow!
