Wild and unruly; that's the descriptive adjective for a main character. But, it's also the name for the Oklahoma Territory. Here is the land rush of 1889 that opened the territory to settlement and left one more blot on the nation. Two if you count the subsequent oil gush. As a story, merely average, but epic in exposure of the underlying history.
