Summary "We Were There at the Oklahoma Land Run" by Jim Kjelgaard is a historical account aimed particularly at young readers, written in the mid-20th century. The narrative is set during the exciting and tumultuous events of the Oklahoma Land Run in 1889, where young Alec Simpson, along with his twin sisters, is eager to stake a claim in the newly opened territories. The story captures the adventure and challenges faced by families seeking new beginnings in fertile lands. At the start of the book, the excitement builds as the Simpson family prepares for the land rush. Cindy Simpson, the adventurous twin, performs a magic show for fellow settlers while contemplating the absence of her sick sister Mindy, who has remained at home for health reasons. As the fateful moment of the land run approaches, spirits run high with hopes and dreams for a better life, but tensions simmer concerning other settlers like the enigmatic Tom LaMott, who may harbor darker intentions. The opening sets the stage for a gripping exploration of family bonds, adventure, and the precarious nature of life as settlers race to claim their fortunes in the frontier.
