Billings, M.D. <br>(1894) Report on the Vital and Social Statistics in the United States at <br>the Eleventh Census: 1890. Part III. -- Statistics of Deaths <br>(Washington, D.C., Government Printing Office).<br><br><br>[2] There are Wikipedia articles on "Indian Territory" and "Oklahoma <br>territory". The boundaries of the two seem to have been specified in <br>"The Oklahoma organic act of 1890", 1890-05-02. They were later merged <br>by "Oklahoma statehood", 1907-11-16.<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Historic mailing list<br>Historic@openstreetmap.org<br>https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic<br></body></html>
