THE RUN 15.722


Oklahoma City came into dramatic existence with the boom of a cannon on April 22, 1889, and has grown from Indian tepees to towering skyscrapers. On the mornina of the govern- ment's land opening in 1889, there was only an unpeopled prairie to mark the site of the city, but before nightfall, ten thousand persons from practically every state in the union had banded together to form a new city - Oklahoma City. They had raced to this city of destiny as shouting horde, by horseback, wagon train and by foot.
