Land Hunger: David L. Payne and the Oklahoma Boomers

Land Hunger is more than a biography, because David Payne's life from 1879 to 1884 was so dedicated to the Boomer cause. His story also portrays one of the most bizarre and exciting episodes of the frontier--the opening of the last lands in America available for free settlement--leading ultimately to the great land run of 1889 and the formation of the State of Oklahoma.
