[Research still in progress on this statute. Because of the wording used, this was probably originally a resolution.]

THAT October 10th be declared Oklahoma Historical Day and

THAT the same be observed by the Governor issuing a proclamation setting forth that Major Jean Pierre Chouteau established the first white settlement on October 10th, 1796 at Salina, and from that date many struggles for the advancement of civilization worthy of mention and discussion, and
