In "We Were There at the Oklahoma Land Run," Kjelgaard likely brings to life the excitement and chaos surrounding the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889, a significant event in American history when settlers rushed to claim land opened up for settlement in the Oklahoma Territory. The novel may follow the experiences of a group of fictional characters—possibly young pioneers or families—as they participate in the land run and stake their claim to new territory.As with many of Kjelgaard's works, "We Were There at the Oklahoma Land Run" likely combines elements of adventure, history, and coming-of-age themes. Through vivid descriptions and well-developed characters, Kjelgaard may transport readers back in time to this pivotal moment in American history, capturing the spirit of the era and the resilience of the people who participated in the land run.
