Along the Chisholm Trail - In the latter half of the 19th Century, cattlemen rounded up
         longhorns by the millions in Texas, cropped their ears, branded their hides, and
         drove them north across the Indian Nations into Kansas. Somewhere along the way,
         without intending to do more than work for a hard day's pay and board, they
         launched the legend of the American cowboy.

Assorted Groups  (Anthology, Cultural, Ethnic, & Religious):
    Germans - By 1890 there were 739 German-born residents of Oklahoma Territory. A
         decade later the German-born exceeded five thousand, and that number more than
         doubled to ten thousand by 1910. In addition, by 1910 there were more than thirty
         thousand American-born Oklahomans whose mother and/or father had been born in
         Germany. — Oklahoma Historical Society.
