My object is a book written by my great grandma, Fannie Eisele. A History of Noble County Oklahoma is educational because it talks about the history before and after the Land Run of 1893. It also talks about things that pioneers had to do to make a living through many hardships and failures. It is a typed paperback book, and includes a picture of my great grandmother and the Cherokee Strip. The text informs readers about what Noble County Oklahoma was like before and after the Land Run of 1893. It describes people who acquired land, and where they lived. The book has been passed through the Eisele family for several generations. My mother, who has been learning about my ancestors, came upon this book. We looked through it together, and after a bit, we decided to look up the text. When we looked it up, it turned out the book was in several libraries in the area, including the Tulsa Historical Society. When the family gets together, we  talk about Fannie and her works. Sometimes, we go down to the area where her family made the land run. This book is important to me because it better connects us together. Although I never met her, when I hear about her life and works, I feel I am growing closer and closer to her. It's interesting for me to look back and compare what the lives of the pioneers were like to our lives today. It's amazing that my great grandparents had to live in the environment that they did, constantly faced with adversity.
