This Day in History
Although it was really the last (and biggest) of several, on this day in 1889, starting at noon, was the Oklahoma Land Rush, where 20,000 homesteaders raced from a starting line to claim free government land in the new territory. The good news was that you got free land; the bad news was that it was in Oklahoma.
