In 1889 history was made in what some
described as the most chaotic and unorganized spectacle" ever
witnessed. And so it was, at high noon on April
22, 1889 the first land run into previously occupied Indian territory
began with the sound of canon in Purcell in then Oklahoma
Territory. This was the first land run into the Unassigned Indian
Lands and included all or part of the modern day Canadian, Cleveland,
Kingfisher, Logan, Oklahoma, and Payne counties of Oklahoma. An estimated
50,000 people lined up for their piece of the available two million
acres just waiting for them 100 miles to the west deep in the heart
of Choctaw, Kiowa, Pottawatomie territory.
Over the next six hours, President
Benjamin Harrison's "Hoss Race." saw about 10,000 people
settling in what would become the capital of the new Territory of
Oklahoma:
Within months, Guthrie became a modern brick and stone "Queen
of the Prairie" with municipal water, electricity, a mass transit
system and underground parking garages for horses and carriages.
H.J.
Whitley, The Father of Hollywood-- built the first brick block
building in the territory and was asked by the local people to be
the first Governor of Oklahoma. Whitley traveled to Washington D.C.
where he persuaded the U.S. Congress to allow the City of Guthrie,
Oklahoma to be the new capitol of the state of Oklahoma. By 1907,
when Guthrie became the capital, it looked much as though it had been
lifted out of a more established state on the east coast.
It was the capital of Oklahoma Territory from 1889 until Statehood
in 1907,
when it became the capital of the new state of Oklahoma. Guthrie prospered
briefly as the administrative center of the territory for several
decades, but was eclipsed in economic influence by Oklahoma City early
in the 20th century.
Oklahoma City had managed to become a major junction for several railroads
and had also attracted a major industry in the form of meat packing.
A successful campaign was started by Oklahoma City business leaders
after statehood to make Oklahoma City the new capital, and the state
capital moved in 1910.
As a result of the sudden loss of its administrative function, Guthrie
began to dwindle in size and soon lost its status as Oklahoma's second
city, first to Muskogee, then later to Tulsa.
Guthrie sits at the heart of Oklahoma's history and that is why Oklahoma
Expeditions Video Magazine is featuring the sleepy town in the first
episode of 'Oklahoma Expeditions.' Look for Lamp Here Productions
staff to be filming in and around Guthrie for the next two weeks as
we feature Guthrie, OK like never before.

As of March 19, 2008 we've begun a new radio format edition of Oklahoma
Expeditions which will be combined with the video programming of Oklahoma
expeditions, the tv show. The program is hosted by Lan Lamphere with
voice talents from the world famous Mr. J.J. McKay. Lan is a known voice
talent inside Oklahoma who, at one time, was in syndication and hosted
'The Edge Radio Show' as well as the late night hit 'Overnight AM' radio
program.
The idea is to cover subjects in the radio broadcast that we are interested
in, but do not always have the added time to cover on the tv show due
to time restraints. We thought that it would be a good idea to include
the portions of the program that didn't make it in the tv show, and
isolate it to the radio program. You need WINAMP
or
iTunes installed on your computer to hear the program. | Listen
