"The Cherokee Strip Land Run in Oklahoma on Sept. 16, 1893, played a prominent role in his [Covey's] early life—and produced a mental image that stayed with him until his last days. As a 15-year old boy, Covey helped his father and brothers claim and settle three quarter sections of land near Red Rock, Okla.
