A Long Trip From Texas to Washington
A writeup by Mrs M Brenan describes a May 28 1922 journey from Texas to Washington via Tulsa and Oklahoma City. The narrative follows missed connections at Sipe Springs and Dublin, a detour through Sapulpa Glenpool and Jenks, visits to the Charles Page Orphan's Home, oil wells near Tulsa, and a long rail journey westward through Nebraska South Dakota Wyoming Montana Idaho and Washington ending in Spokane. The tale notes weather changes train delays and the sight of prairie dogs and notable landmarks along the way.
