A Little History #1

According to Red River Historian, the landscape along US Highway 70 reflects the landscape in the Red River Valley.  Upcoming images are likely to include thick forests in the east around the Arkansas/Oklahoma border and grand prairies in the west as it tracks through Texas into New Mexico.  US 70 follows approximately the entry to the Trail of Tears for the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians. A 2000 year old Cypress Tree still standing in Broken Bow on US 70 in Oklahoma was known as a landmark to early Choctaws traveling the Trail of Tears. Several Indian Academies were located in the region.
