The Late Sooner Sandford Deering wants to make his claim in the Oklahoma Territory on April 22, 1889. The Late Sooner shows the struggles, heartaches, and trials of the Deering family as they face claim-jumpers, prairie fires, and famine during the years following the first land run in Oklahoma. This account is based on Sanford's one line a day diary. Author Sally Jadlow is his great-granddaughter.
