Notes
Abstract: Thousands of land seekers arrived in Guthrie on April 22, 1889, among them Frank Housholder and his four-year-old son, Glen Dana. Their efforts to find a homestead and make a living in the new land eventually resulted in the Housholder Fruit Farm, one of the largest fruit-growing businesses in the state. Joe Bax, Glen Housholder's grandson, provides a loving portrait and poignant tale of the family's tremendous successes amid struggles against railroads, commission merchants, and Oklahoma's sometimes fickle weather.
