High Plains History: Sagebrush Artist Augusta Metcalfe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a young girl, Augusta Isabella Corson witnessed the raw reality of the frontier. Cattle drives, fierce blizzards, country weddings, and prairie fires all became the vibrant subjects of the paintings she would create throughout her nearly 90 years. Homeschooled by her mother, a former teacher, Augusta was a self-taught artist, who closely observed life in far-west Oklahoma—on a homestead at the mouth of Turkey Creek on the Washita River near present Durham, OK, in Roger Mills County. She drew
High Plains History: The Last County (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Greeley popularized the iconic phrase, “Go West, young man,” that helped inspire a generation of settlers to pack up their lives and seek their fortunes on the vast Kansas plains and beyond.

Read excerpt
In 1923 a traveling musician named Phil Baxter arrived in town. Though his stay was only a few weeks, the people of Dumas made quite an impression on him, and he wrote a song titled “I’m a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas”. Mr. Baxter’s fortune and the success of the song took a turn upward when Phil Harris, bandleader for the popular Jack Benny radio show, recorded it and played it on the air. Over the years, the song has had musical legs, being performed by various country music stars as well as the
