[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 3193945, member: 38658"] Approximately 1,000 years ago there was a severe drought in the areas of Haskell Latimer and Pittsburg counties, so severe apparently it killed most of the trees. Early French explorers named the mountains “Sans Bois” meaning “no wood.” They also encountered a bird native to the mountains south of the Sans Bois whom they named the “Kiamichi” bird. They named the mountains after the bird, hence The Kiamichi Mountains. Kiamichi translates “Horned Screamer.” Apparently the Frenchmen found the Horned Screamer somewhat annoying because they killed the bird to extinction. So next time You're driving down this route, think of the horned screamer and no trees. Oh yeah, blame the French. [/QUOTE]
