This is Eugene D. Nims, born in 1866. When the United States Government opened Oklahoma for settlement in 1893, he was there and made the run on horseback into the Cherokee strip. Here he got into the lumber business. All the settlers needed wood to build their homes and he quickly became successful. By 1896, he began his career in the development of public utilities, linking the three small towns of Perry, Pawnee and Stillwater by phone, a total of 36 miles of wire. Because Oklahoma's population was growing at an astounding rate, eight years later he was able to create the Pioneer Telephone and Telegraph Company, a much larger company with many more miles of wiring. Video was recorded in the summer of 1930.

Remembering is important. Mr Nims was only 28 years older than my Grandmother. I would curl up next to her in her bed and listen to her tell stories about her life and the world in which she grew up and the people she knew.. There was something very comforting in forging these connections with the past which gave me a strong sense of belonging. I told her stories and my own to my children and now pass these stories on to my own grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

My father did a homestead in Alaska in the early 1950s. If i remember him correctly he received 100 acres of land and needed to only live on it for 2 years and add electricity and water from a well. Where we lived we needed to drill down at least 300 foot before hitting water and you had to be extremely careful not to build a house on top of permafrost otherwise your house would sink when the house warms the ground. Rural Alaska was an interesting place for me to grow up as a kid.

He used the money to buy an airplane and we used to take weekend vacations to both Chena and Circle hot springs. He also built a second house that was larger and sold both in 1987 when we moved to the Missouri Ozarks to live in his retirement with a pontoon boat on the lake.

My grandfather who raised me passed away at the age of 93 almost 94 last fall. He grew up in northeast Georgia, and remembered seeing the elderly civil war veterans coming to church and having a seat of honor each Sunday. Some wore their dress frock coats, or pieces of their old uniforms in all their finery. They would come to the ice cream socials and watermelon feasts and would tell the kids stories… It was incredible hearing this from someone who heard and saw them first hand, remembering everything in such detail. I miss my Granddad and I’m very grateful to see these recordings. ❤

She kept his journals(books handwritten) that were dated from the 1850s through 1917. They were in her home in Kansas City in the attic. Tried to tell the family about where stuff was but they were too busy grinding out money to care.

I'm sorry to say when you wrote "they were too busy grinding out money to care", it occurred to me they did find them and sold them for a lot of money! :( Breaks my heart they'd do something like that, but that's the way of some people nowadays. No honor. At least you have the memories of these precious journals that will live on forever in your mind. That is what I have to tell myself when I think of all of my pictures and things that have been stolen in the last 10 years or so. See you in Heaven, doesn't sound like some of your family are going to make it :/

M'kay, thank you for reminding us. I have to admit, and I'm ashamed, but I didn't think of what all this meant to the indigenous people (American Indians). When you think of the atrocities that were perpetrated on the American Indians, besides hanging your head in shame, support legislation that favors returning a little bit of what was taken from the American Indians! It can't make up for all the pain and suffering, but at least we acknowledge the injustice, and try to make amends. We all readily acknowledge the atrocity of slavery in the south, but not the wholesale enslavement and murder of a nation of indigenous people. Just my opinion.

We only know about such things mostly through history books, but to hear someone speak about it with a recorded voice would make it so much more real to most people. Unfortunately, the victims are rarely given a platform of speech, much less recorded for all of posterity, as true today as back then.

Technically the desert BLM lands out west are open to homesteading to this day. It is called the "Desert Lands Act". The "Homestead Act" is history, but the DLA is still active. You have to produce an economically viable crop though, so it might be tough. Maybe Jojoba or something would work. I don't think ranching counts. It's been a while since I looked at it.

@@patriciatimmerman2625 I'd like to see it. I had thought about it about 10 or 15 years ago. The trick is I think BLM still has to approve after you meet all the requirements (the government agency, not the civil rights group). But they can't stop you from trying it, and that gives you the right to live on that land for a number of years. You'd have to grow some type of crop and take records of the economics of it. Still something would be viable, like Jojoba, mesquite, etc. And I don't think ranching counts, it has to be grown crops.

My white family took advantage of the land runs. Like my Great grandfather in Alabama who owned many slaves, I feel shame for what they did! They lived on Creek land and Muscogee land, and treated the rightful owners badly! This is a generational debt! My heart hurts when I hear talk like his. 😢

@@patriciatimmerman2625 Not ignorant. It is true. War and conquest have been features of civilization since time immemorial. That includes the native Americans. They were brutalizing each other long before the white man came over. They had African slaves as well. They raped women, killed men and kids, stole people from other tribes to be slaves. They stole land from competing tribes. Colonialism was the way of the world. War was (and unfortunately still is) the way of the world. It isn't my problem that you lack historical context of any kind.

If you want to understand Racism, understand that the US Government took the land already promised to Native Americans, gave it to new White immigrants and newly freed slaves had little opportunity to acquire land and were forced to flee North to large cities. White Immigrants, were able to get free farmland that many of them still have in their family to this day.
