F2013.134.2.0008 • Description: Black and white film covering the rise and fall of Oklahoma's 101 Ranch. The historical overview begins from the conception of the 101 in 1879 by George W. Miller and then traces the development and successes of the ranch by Miller's three sons: George Miller, Jr., Joe Miller, and Zack Miller. As the Miller brothers found success in agricultural endeavors, they established the 101's headquarters, the White House, in Ponca City, OK. There they established a self-efficient community with its own roads, bridges, power plant, meat-packing industry, telephone company, their own form of money (the Bronc ), etc. Footage covers the 101's Apple Blossom Day events, the 1905 Convention of the National Editorial Association, The Wild West Show established in 1913, and Cherokee Strip Cowpunchers Association footage from the 1920s, and The Terapin Roundup and Derby which started in 1924. The relationship between the Ponca Indians and the Miller brothers, as well as the contributions the Ponca Tribe made to the 101 shows is discussed at length. Footage from the film Recreation of 1889 includes the original cast. The memorial sites of Bill Pickett, one of the greatest , African American rodeo performers of all time and Chief White Eagle of the Ponca Indian Tribe are featured. Final footage covers Colonel Joe Miller's traditional Ponca Memorial Service, George Miller's funeral service, and the ruins of the White House and 101 Ranch. • Creator: WKY News • Coverage: Oklahoma City (City), in Oklahoma (USA); Ponca City (City), in Oklahoma (USA) • MARC Geographic Areas: Oklahoma (oku); United States (xxu) • Extent (quantity/size): 26min 45sec • Media: 16 mm film; Moving Images • AVI 1920 x 1080 29.97 FRAMES PER SECOND • Subjects: 101 Ranch (Okla.) / Agriculture / Apple Blossom Day / Cherokee Strip Cowpunchers Association / Pageantry / Ponca Indian Tribe / Rodeos / Terapin Roundoup and Derby • To inquire about licensing or purchasing a high resolution digital file contact the Oklahoma Historical Society Film Archives: • https://www.okhistory.org/research/film
