Contents: The data for this study were taken largely from primary sources. This
study is a historical treatment of the Red River Valley, beginning with the time
of the American Indian and continuing through a period of four hundred years of
advancement. The economic and social development of the frontier constitutes the
theme of the discourse. One part of the study deals with various boundary contro-
versies between Texas and Oklahoma and justifies the final decision which settled
these disputes. Another division discusses present construction work in the valley
and predicts a future of unparalleled advancement.
