Indian Territory Memories...

"My Great-GrandFather, William Harvey Burdick was a Deputy U S Marshal who came into the badlands from Texas looking for outlaws & brought his family with him so my grandmother was born in a covered wagon at Stonewall, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory in 1886. G-G-dad Burdick went outside the territory to make a legitimate run in '89 and staked a claim in downtown OKC which he later sold to fellow lawman, Charles Colcord. The Colcord building, OKC's first skyscraper stands on that claim today. I'm 3rd generation Oklahoman, born in Britton, (northern,OKC)." -- Roy   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
