"Father!" The call came from a boy of sixteen, a bright, manly chap, who had just awakened from an unusually sound sleep in the rear end of a monstrous boomer's wagon. The scene was upon the outskirts of Arkansas City, situated near the southern boundary line of Kansas and not many miles from the Oklahoma portion of the Indian Territory. For weeks the city had been filling up with boomers on their way to pre-empt land within the confines of Oklahoma as soon as it became possible to do so. The land in Oklahoma had for years been in dispute. Pioneers claimed the right to go in and stake out homesteads, but the soldiers of our government would not allow them to do so. The secret of the matter was that the cattle kings of that section controlled everything, and as the grazing land of the territory was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to them they fought desperately to keep the pioneers out, delaying, in every manner possible, legislation which tended to make the section an absolutely free one to would-be settlers. But now the pioneers, or boomers as they were commonly called, were tired of waiting for the passage of a law which they knew must come sooner or later, and they intended to go ahead without legal authority.

"The Boy Land Boomer" relates the adventures of a lad who, with his father, joins a number of daring men in an attempt to occupy the rich farming lands of Oklahoma before the time when that section of our country was thrown open to settlement under the homestead act. Oklahoma consists of a tract of land which formerly formed a portion of the Indian Territory. This region was much in dispute as early as 1884 and 1885, when Captain "Oklahoma" Payne and Captain Couch did their best to force an entrance for the boomers under them. Boomers remained in the neighborhood for years, and another attempt was made to settle Oklahoma in 1886, and up to 1889, when, on April 22, the land was thrown open to settlement by a proclamation of the President. The mad rush to gain the best claims followed, and some of these scenes are related in the present volume.

In Edward Stratemeyer's "The Boy Land Boomer; Or, Dick Arbuckle's Adventures in Oklahoma," readers are taken on a riveting journey through the bustling land rush in Oklahoma. Written in Stratemeyer's classic literary style, the book combines adventure, mystery, and historical accuracy to create a captivating narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seat. As a pioneer in the field of children's literature, Stratemeyer's work paved the way for future authors to explore themes of independence and exploration. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America, "The Boy Land Boomer" showcases Stratemeyer's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to create relatable and dynamic characters. Edward Stratemeyer's own experiences as a publisher and writer undoubtedly influenced his decision to write a book that not only entertains but also educates readers on an important period in American history. I highly recommend "The Boy Land Boomer" to readers of all ages who enjoy a well-crafted story filled with excitement, intrigue, and valuable historical insights.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
