Great storytelling of a piece of history I know little about. Thanks! My husband's family arrived shortly after the land rush and it appears they were among those who benefitted from folks like Tim who divided their lands. Oh and the maps helped tell the story so much!
Very interesting account of one person’s experience of a land rush (or, in this case, a lottery). I knew very little about this history. Thank you!

Thanks! Sometimes I find it’s as fun to research the historical events as it is to research the family history.
I totally agree, especially when, as you said, our ancestors were participants in the bigger and more obvious moments of history.
In that regard, your story reminds me a bit of the Lafayette project Barbara’s Tien at Projectkin is working on.
Cool stuff 😎
