Bourland in North Texas and Indian Territory During the Civil War: Fort Cobb, Fort Arbuckle & the Wichita Mountains
Years ago before statehood Wilson, Oklahoma was located in the very far SE corner of Carter county, in an area east of what would become Lake Murray. When it was moved to
where Wilson is located today, it was called New Wilson. The old Wilson was located near the Wilson Creek and nearby was the Wilson Creek cemetery. A T&T Reader's
daughter was at the Wilson Creek cemetery a few days ago, and took some digital night photos while inside the cemetery. The nighttime photos below have some very strange
images on them.... orbs, aberrations, mists, ghosts or whatever they might be called, they're still strange images on the pictures. I sure don't know what the images are, so take a
look, and you be the judge. Butch Bridges, This 'n That, Vol 13 Issue 625; January 15, 2009. >> http://www.oklahomahistory.net/newsletters/TT625.htm<<

O.H.S Vol 23 pgs total 20 name this Chickasaw
manual labor school in 1857 with a list of 141 male students- for example1857; Mon{t}ford Johnson, Alex McClish, Alford
McClish, Dickerson McClish, Richard McClish,& Johon McClish anyway this
looks like a some what big family. I did find a 1855 TREATY James N.
McLish on with Judge-chickasaw delegation also-in 1837 in Mississippi
Doaks stand Chickasaw signer was Witness John McLish, Pitman Colbert,
James Perry--anyway they go back to ms. area. This school should be a good addition for
names and a aid for a' Chickasaw researcher' this school closed in
1859..
Indian Bayou Trail. The historic Santa Fe Trail routed in the 1820s from Independence, MO crossed only the northwest corner of present Oklahoma Panhandle. Near northeast Healdton, a principal Indian trail, perhaps as old as any of the upper Red River valley, crossed the Bayou. On a pre-Civil War map it is shown as "Cloud Road." (Marcy's Route, 1851). This trail extended from the mouth of Mud Creek on the "river Rouge", later "Rio Roho" and lately called Red River, northward beyond Wild Horse Creek. Another early map shows "Warren's T. H." (Trading House) in the vicinity of Rubottom near its beginning. This trail is plotted as bending northward along the east bank of Mud Creek to due north into old Healdton, then along the east side of the Arbuckle Mountains to about present Hennipin, Oklahoma.The endless struggles over old Indian trails, wagon roads or even the mud ruts of the near past have gone before and are no more. Modern travel, like time, flies, but modern highways, like ancient Rome are not built in one day.
