| This site chronicles the saga of hundreds of Americans who in 1903-04, emigrated from Greer County, Oklahoma Territory, to Mexico, to establish an agricultural colony. These adventurers formed a stock corporation, the Blalock Mexico Colony and purchased 176,515 acres in Tamaulipas, Mexico, called Hacienda del Chamal. |
