Oklahoma Run
by Alberta Wilson ConstantMany people know that Oklahoma was first opened to settlement in 1889 with a Run for land, but not so many know that this was only the first of the land openings in Oklahoma Territory, later combined with Indian Territory into the state of Oklahoma. This story, Oklahoma Run, concerns the second land opening. The settlement of the Indian Territory in the late 19th century is recorded through the experiences of one family, the Sheridans, viewed through the young eyes of Lainey who gros up with the land, and bears a comfortable air of domesticity. For Bushrod, the new country has a challenge which the gentler Allegra can never really share.

A Star to Follow
by Elizabeth HowardArizona was a remote and primitive place in 1875--especially when compared to Detroit. Ellen and Nettie really found this out when they made the difficult trip to the Southwest to join their parents at the army post commanded by their father. Nettie, who was gay and pretty, with the interests suitable for a young girl, adjusted quickly to army life. There were too many attractive lieutenants around for life to become boring. Ellen, however, found nothing in the tea-parties and the army gossip to replace her dream of going to college and becoming a doctor. The only man who really interested her was Neil Brent, but he was an enlisted man and therefore an officer's daughter could not associate with him. In desperation Ellen strove to overcome the prejudice which her parents and the post doctor felt toward the idea of a girl's studying medicine, and she finally won permission to read the doctor's medical books as a first step toward realizing her ambition. No one except Neil Brent believed that Ellen could actually stick to a vocation so difficult and in many ways so repellent. The desert country has its own fascination, as Ellen discovered. Miss Howard captures its appeal in her vivid description of mountains and mesas and the weird beauty of the cactus. Set against this background, the story of Ellen's struggle to follow her star and her heart has a particular charm which girls will find absorbing and unusual.

Big Eli qualified on every count and yet in caring for his motherless son, Little Eli, he displayed a tenderness and gentleness that any mother might envy. Only a man of Big Eli's size and strength could blow the Gabriel Horn, the hunting horn which played so important a part in the lives of those rugged individuals fighting for an existence on one of the last of the American frontiers. It was Little Eli's ambition to grow up to become a man his father could be proud of and who could in his turn come to blow the Gabriel Horn. The Gabriel Horn recounts the experiences of Big and Little Eli Wakefield in their ever-widening search for freedom from the confinements of the encroaching civilization of the 1800's.
