Resettlement

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.

The Gorham Letters Collection

The Gorham Letters Collection contains 242 letters all sent or received by a Gorham family member. The collection spans January 22, 1875 to 1980. These letters provide an important snapshot of the lives of the Gorham family and of the time period in which they were written. The richness of these letters gives an intimate look at this large extended family, their friends and acquaintances. Grab a box of tissues and start by reading the Overview.
