Ozark Trail History Tied to Wellington Booster Era
A Wellington record recounts the Ozark Trail’s Peak booster era from 50 to 75 years ago. It details Obelisk markers, Coin Harvey and Monte Ne, road campaigns across Texas Oklahoma and New Mexico, and Nan Lawler’s research and dedication in 1990. It notes Harvey’s political activities with the Liberty party, and the later flooding of Monte Ne by the Army Corps of Engineers.
