Unpromising Land Says Oklahoma Worthless, Says Groom
B. B. Groom, a Pan Handle City landowner, arrived in Chicago and argued Oklahoma is largely worthless. He split land into one-fifth good, one-fifth medium, three-fifths nearly worthless, dismissing much of the proclaimed fertility and warning settlers away from the boom spots like Paul's Valley. He noted Texans nearby saw little to gain and recounted Guthrie and Noble developments, with harsh terrain, scarce water, and extreme climates in the region.
