Collection of fourteen photographs taken in Oklahoma (Indian) Territory at Oklahoma Station (later Oklahoma City) around the time of the land rush. The first five images show the growth of Oklahoma City from March 1889-1892. Other images include views of Chickasaw Indian Nation, Choctaw nation, Fort Washataw and Atoka. The photographer is unknown, but simalrities between the photographs in this collection and photographs by William S. Prettyman that appear in Robert E. Cunningham, Indian Territory: A Frontier Photographic Record by W. S. Prettyman (Norman: Univ. of Oklahoma Press, 1957), suggest that they are a product of Prettyman.
