So he worked his way through school (meanwhile marrying and begetting two sons) and graduated, age 29; with highest honors. His wife graduated in the same class. Then Old McDonald set out to convert Oklahoma because "Oklahoma was bound for hell as straight and as fast as an Indian could shoot an arrow." The McDonalds settled in Sallisaw, on the edge of the outlaw...
