Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Cowgirls,1900s
The Miller Brothers 101 Ranch was a 110,000 acre cattle ranch in the Indian Territory of Oklahoma before statehood,founded by Colonel George Washington Miller,a veteran of the Confederate Army,in 1893. The 101 Ranch was the birthplace of the 101 Ranch Wild West Show and one of the early focal points of the oil rush in northeastern Oklahoma. It was the largest diversified farm and ranch in America at the time. The Millers' neighbor Major Gordon W. Lillie,who performed as Pawnee Bill,motivated the Millers to produce a Wild West Show of their own. The Millers made their transition from putting on local shows to the national scene in 1907,when they performed at the Jamestown Exposition in Virginia. Later in 1907,the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show began the tour circuit in Brighton Beach,New York. Joe Miller,the eldest son,was an exceptional equestrian and star performer. Over the course of the show's history,its cast included Lillian Smith,Bill Picket,Bessie Herberg,Bee Ho Gray,Tom Mix,Jack Hoxie,Mexican Joe,Ross Hettan,and an elderly Buffalo Bill.
