Theodore W. Gulick, Commercial Value of Arkansas River Improvement in Arkansas and Indian Territory, Government and Commercial Reports.  Published by the Muskogee Commercial Club, Muskogee, Indian Territory, ca. 1907.  8.5” x 6”, 17pp. Original wrappers, detached. Provenance: Bureau of Corporations, dept of Commerce, 1907; Library of Congress, with their surplus stamp. Good copy. SOLD

Includes a folding map “Commercial Map of the Arkansas River Valley (26″x8.75”, which has been repair along the length of three folds.

ALSO: includes an 8″x22″ view, “Panoramic View of the Resources along the Arkansas River Below Muskogee Indian Territory”, printed in green. It shows the best of all possible worlds–a green utopia–flourishing along the Arkansas River.  

I cannot find this title in the usual places, nor are there any references to it in WorldCat/OCLC, nor is there any mention of the panoramic view or the map. I’d say this was scarce.

“…Theodore W. Gulick [d. 1913], an early newspaper editor. He is credited with establishing the Muskogee Evening Times which was Muskogee s first daily newspaper. He is also credited with reorganizing the Muskogee Commercial Club into the Chamber of Commerce and served as an officer of the Chamber for many years.”–Muskogee Phoenix

There must’ve been one of the land rushes in the 1900-1909 period as the Muskogee as the population exploded from 4,500 to 25,000.
