In 1834 legislation was passed creating penalties for the sale, barter, or introduction of alcohol onto Native American lands – with an exception to meet the needs of members of the United States military that may be serving on tribal lands. The reservation ban on alcohol, coupled with a prohibition of Native Americans being sold or consuming alcohol even off reservations, would continue for over a century, even after the 21st Amendment ended national prohibition. |
Some old family pics. The old guy on the horse and sitting in the chair was my grandmother’s grandfather. Her dad was one of the younger men in the family pic. My grandmother was born in 1909, so I’m guessing the time frame was late 1800’s.

At that time Route 66 ran right by the Oklahoma State Capitol. You can see a service station across the street and many oil rigs since there was a major oil field discovered here. Oklahoma was known as the only state capitol complex to have working oil wells on-site. There are still several working oil rigs still near this capitol building today. Oklahoma City has many iconic Route 66 landmarks and is the largest city on Route 66 in Oklahoma. |

There are just a few wells left on the grounds now. All of them are "stripper" wells, and the easy extraction oil is gone. Now the pump jacks just run a few hours per day, and the towers are not really needed, but left there as a visual reminder of the olden days.

Irvin was born in Los Angeles. He became a stunt-man for the fledgling Californian film industry, for which he had to perform acrobatics on trapezes from balloons and then make descents using a parachute, the Type-A. Irvin made his first jump when aged fourteen, and for a film called Sky High, he jumped from an aircraft from 1,000 feet in 1914. He developed his own static line parachute as a life-saving device in 1918 and jumped with it several times. He joined the Army Air Service’s parachute research team, and at McCook Field near Dayton, Ohio. After World War I, Major E. L. Hoffman of the Army Air Service led an effort to develop an improved parachute for exiting airplanes by bringing together the best elements of multiple parachute designs. Participants included Irvin and James Floyd Smith.
