The 101 Ranch episode explains many "firsts" in the history of cowboys in tall grass. G.W. Miller was one of the very early settlers, arriving in the late 1890's before Oklahoma was a state. His sons, George, Joe and Zack developed what became one of the first "dude ranches", hosting famous names from all over the country. Bill Pickett, the black cowboy who invented bull dogging, the first women entertainers and rifle shots, the ranch currency that became known as "bucks" all were incubated on the 101 Ranch. It is truly a story of rags to riches to rags.
