Two Copper Pennies follows the life and hardships of a family in the Oklahoma Land Run of 1893.
Andrew Thomas Lyon, my great-grandfather, an Irish immigrant. Along with his bride, my great-grandmother, a Cherokee, Martha Delphenia Owen. They staked their claim, traveled by wagon with 5 children, and built a dug-out, or soddie. People faced hard ways, had strong dreams, and built strong families. They worked together, only looking forward to the future. Floods, wild animals, nature, unpleasant neighbors, rodents, and snakes, were common. I hope you enjoy the travel of one family, on what would turn out to be, a historical adventure through uncharted, unclaimed, open land.
