Question 15 • OK-Oklahoma History
A “sooner” was someone who entered the Unassigned Lands or staked a claim before the official start of the 1889 Land Run, gaining an unfair advantage. Choices A, C, and D describe that early entry or claim. Choice B merely describes an Oklahoman who owned land after the territory was created, which does not define a sooner.
