| The Carl L. White Family is the 4th generation of a ranching family spanning more than a hundred years of life in Oklahoma |
| since the time the Cherokee Outlet was divided into large cattle leases. Carl's grandfather was a wagon freighter and drover |
| who in the 1880's transported goods from Kansas to Fort Supply and then down to Old Oklahoma and to Fort Reno. Many |
| nights he would camp on the island in the Cimarron River. Game was plentiful and there was feed and water for his team. |
| As the years went by, he came to know the island quite well. When the U.S. Government decided to open the Cherokee land |
| for settlement in 1893, Carl's grandfather knew the land he would "run" for. |
