The Late Sooner
Sanford Deering wants to make his claim in the Oklahoma Territory on April 22, 1889. His wife, Lucy, expecting their third child, is determined to stay in Missouri. She refuses to let him go. Soon after the birth, Sanford learns land is still available.
The Late Sooner shows the struggles, heartaches, and trials of the Deering family as they face claim-jumpers, prairie fires, and famine during the years following the first land run in Oklahoma. This account is based on Sanford’s one line a day diary. Author Sally Jadlow is his great-granddaughter.
“Sally Jadlow took her great-grandfather’s diary and wove it into an incredibly beautiful story of hope, passion, adventure, trust and faith. This is one book that will always be near to my heart.”
-Nelda Brown, Past President, Logan County, Oklahoma Genealogical Society”
“After the bugle sounded on April 22, 1889, there were still pockets of free land available. The Late Sooner is the story of one family of homesteaders who claimed some of that land despite extreme hardships, trials, and grief. It is important to record stories for future generations. Sally Jadlow has accomplished this very well.”
-Don Odom, Junior High School History Teacher (retired), Guthrie, Oklahoma

“In The Late Sooner’s Daughter we watch as Nora overcomes challenges, accept unexpected changes, and looks to the Lord when grief strikes cruel blows.
