Oklahoma or Bust by John Stewart Curry This weekend marks the 150th Anniversary of the Homestead Act, providing the basis for the Oklahoma Land Rush.  It’s also Bike to Work Day and National Bike Month, so it’s hard to resist the penny-farthing bicycle shown here. Black & white photo reproduction.  The original color painting appears to be on display at the Department of the Interior’s Stuart Lee Udall building (click photo #20!).
