There's even a "Tom Mix" museum there with some of his guns on display.<br />In the '20's oil boom, there were more Pierce Arrow automobiles in Osage County than in any other part of the country. The Osage Indians got very wealthy from all the oil Frank Philips found there. One of his oil derrick rough necks moved to Hollywood. His name was Clark Gable.<br />Did you know, too, about that dark period of Osage history? A white man married an Osage woman. Then, he began killing her family, so she, and he, would get there share of the oil royalties.Trevor Hiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10216077170526370999noreply@blogger.com
