NW Okie's Corner

As we scour our OkieLegacy stories of 2001 that are not in our database, we found the photo above that a reader sent in to us in 2001 concerning a 1890 McAlester, Indian Territory school photo.

Eric of Charlotte, North Carolina says, "I have an original photo. Maybe you can use it. This circa 1890, McAlester school photo is marked on the back: 'Old School South McAlester I.T.' It would look good in your newsletter and maybe one of your readers knows about when it was taken. Maybe even who some of the people were. I purchased this photo as a collector of Oklahoma Indian Territory Photos. I found it being auctioned off on eBay from some guy in your neck of the woods. I just love it and wanted you all to see it. I have a couple of others too that are identified as I.T. but they are portraits."

Besides scouring our archives of the OkieLegacy Ezine, we have added some more MP3 to our Prairie Pioneer Jukebox. One of the MP3 is called "Doin' the Uptown Lowdown. I am asking, "What was the Uptown Lowdown?

How to Embed MP3 Audio Files In Web Pages

I used the Google Reader MP3 Player - Google Reader has an inbuilt MP3 player that is pretty much the same as Gmail player but it also works on non-Google websites. This player has volume controls, no Google branding and it auto-detects the duration of the music file so your readers know how long the song will last. SEE MORE at this LINK

To use this MP3 player on your website or blog, copy-paste the following code and replace the MP3_FILE_URL with the link to your MP3 file.
