Land Runners/Sooners

CHEYENNE-ARAPAHO LAND RUN

The Cheyenne-Arapaho Land Run began when the cavalry men fired their guns into the air at noon on April 19, 1892. People who were twenty-one years of age or older could place their stake in a 160 acre tract of land; live upon it for five years; make improvements and the deed was theirs. They rode in covered wagons, rode horseback and ran on foot to acquire this land in the third of five land runs into Oklahoma Territory.

Below is a list of “runners/sooners” that has been compiled of those who entered from the west side (Texas line) on that adventurous day. If you are interested in the name of a runner/sooner who is listed below, please contact Judy Tracy at tdale55@aol.com and what info is available will be forwarded to you.
