Enid, Oklahoma, sat on the Chisholm Trail's northern reach in 1917, a young town of roughly two decades since the Cherokee Strip opened to settlement in September 1893. Its economy rested mainly on wheat, cattle, and the grain elevators and mills that served the surrounding farms, with railroad lines carrying the harvest to market. Oklahoma had become a state in 1907, and Garfield County residents were still building schools, churches, and county institutions while adjusting to prices that rose and fell with the wheat crop. The United States entered the First World War in April 1917, and Enid's farm families, like those across the state, followed war-time food appeals and worried about sons and neighbors who might be called up. Black Bear Creek, which ran through the countryside near town, was a familiar landmark for those who farmed and grazed land along its banks.
