[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 797532, member: 4319"] Sounds similar, probably in the same general area. There are quite a few of these old wells in eastern Ok, and alot of them were dug in the same time period. Most are hidden or destroyed, but you can see a couple from the road now and then. I can see 2 more from the road within 20 miles of this one that look the similar. There were more on the property in the past, but they have been filled in or just fell in, this is the only one left there I think This well was dug later than the Ft. Smith wagon road days, I've heard it used to supply a store with water, or just the turn of the century farmers dug it. Seems more likely the farmers dug it, but who knows. They are cool though. Every old thing around has a million stories about it. Can't sort out which ones true sometimes, but they make good stories around the fire on cold nights, tying to stay awake until the the potatoes get soft in the coals or the stew gets done. [/QUOTE]
