Good Luck and Happy Hunting. Here’s a little History.
This area of Oklahoma got its name from a man that was Illinois’ first territorial Lieutenant Governor. He was a prolific businessman connected with the early fur trade.
This area is the site of the Civil War Skirmish between the Union troops of the Indian Home Guard and the Confederates of Stand Watie's regiment. This was the first Federal effort to retake Indian Territory during the Civil War.
This area is the site of the Muskogee-Fort Gibson stagecoach hold up by Cherokee Bill and The Cook gang. Crawford "Cherokee Bill" Goldsby is buried in the Cherokee National Cemetery, Fort Gibson.
