I live in Perkins, Ok. Some historic places or things that have happened in my area:
The town of Perkins used to be named Italy after the land run but was changed to Perkins shortly after.
Frank{Pistol Pete}Eaton. A famous law man in oklahoma used to live about 6 blocks from where I now live.
Twelve miles west sits the town of Coyle. The first recorded hand dug well in Oklahoma.
Roughly twenty miles away sits whats left of Ingalls, oklahoma. Bill Doolin and his outlaw gang known as The Wild Bunch used to use Ingalls as a safe haven. An old story I have heard for years is that Bills wife wanted to go hear a preacher that had traveled to their area to preach a sermon. Some folks got rowdy during the sermon, giving the preacher a hard time while trying to preach his sermon. Bill Doolin stands up and pulls his gun and tells those causing trouble that he would kill them if they didnt quiet down or leave. I can only wonder how the preachers sermon continued after that.
Ingalls, Oklahoma is also where Bill Doollin and his Wild Bunch got into a shootout with deputy marshals that ended badly for the marshals.
These are a few of the things that have happened around my area. What about your area
