    About this ebook

    Many talents and skills were blended in the new Oklahoma Territory. Those who made the trip to the Unassigned Lands were not lazy slackers or hangers-on. They were doers with the confidence of those who knew what they did was of value. The performing arts also came. Poetry from the northern state and music from the banks of the Mississippi, came together in the form of two young girls, with the help of a kidnapper and it combined in a most confusing way in a wooded thicket of the newly settled Oklahoma Territory

    FROM GUNSHOT TO HOMESTEAD is book one of an eight book series, DEEP FORK RIVER, OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.

    This series took place in a unique period of history when new land was deeded on the basis of a gunshot and a footrace. The central nugget of land in the Oklahoma Territory was advertised for settlement, quarter sections were marked out and on the 22 of April, l889 the local Cavalry and other officials started the race at the shot of a gun. On foot... on horses in wagons and in buggies, they struggled for a place to put down roots.

    Each of these books brings a different family, person, or in one incident, a whole town to settle in the new land. The small town fictional town of Prosper was settled by these immigrants and others. It is generally thought that this incident was the only one of its kind in history.

    Book one. FROM GUNSHOT TO HOMKESTEAD. A 22 year old young lady and her father make a night flight to protect a small girl from kidnap.

    Book two. UNDER THE REDBUDS. An idea born in a Nebraska storm gives birth to a snowball of activity for half a town.

    Book three. TREK THROUGH THE WILDERNESS. A young Kentucky preacher follows a strange guide with the help of a strong young lady.

    Book four. OF BOOMERS AND SOONERS. Free land was passed out, but some of it was already occupied. A man does what he had to do.

    Book five. IN OCTOBER SUNSHINE. The lady, no longer young, realized she permitted herself to be a follower all her life. It was not her time to lead.

    Book six. BEHIND EVERY CLOUD. Young victim of circumstances feels she finally deserves a silver lining, if she can just turn that cloud around.

    Book seven. TO THE PROMISED LAND. Young Camille experiences what no girl should experience, but some things happen in the best families.

    Book eight. WITH A SONG IN THE NIGHT. Two young girls who have never met are thrown together in desperate circumstances.

    Joann Ellen Sisco

    The author has published a number of adult historical fiction books but finds a unique pleasure in creating juveniles designed for little girls. It was fun to relive the real and imagined pleasure of her own childhood with native animals and the woodland's great climbing trees...along with sketching remembered scenes. Toss in a couple dozen "cousins" visiting for the summer, stir in a voracious reader in the form of her great-granddaughter, Madison Ann, and you have a perfect formula for fun. Eight year old Madison is busily accumulating her own ideas and skills, and could there someday be a twin to the adventures of the Wildwood Village Summer?
