The stone is 16 inches thick, 10 by 12 foot – a slab of rock geologically referred to as crystalline sandstone - Savannah Formation of the Pennsylvania era. This massive block sits squarely on end, resembling a stone-age billboard was found near the Poteau Mountains in Oklahoma. Frankly, the struggle for recognition of the Heavener Runestone No. 1 has been a slow, tedious and tedious task for those who believed in the stone and what it would bo the world, America and Oklahoma history.

FACTUAL REPRESENTATION
OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES
Folks, now I am from the old school – you know- Columbus discovered America – LaSalle found the Ohio River – Oklahoma was Indian Territory and for 81 years through elementary school to college, I followed those teachings. Well, here’s a story that lays a little question to all that – I mean – it says some guy named Erikson discovered America, the Vikings sailed down the Mississippi Norsemen inhabited Oklahoma. And they report on the stone markings left which prove it! Its all here in the story entitled
RUNESTONES and TOMBSTONES
WERE VIKINGS IN OKLAHOMA?
Bernice and Jack McGee
Please read this story by Bernice and Jack McGee who have gone to great lengths to document the stories of the Vikings occupation of Northern America and their expeditions to our country. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the Viking pioneers of the old west like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.
Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.
This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.
Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive
I hope you appreciate the effort.
Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend.

VIKING MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.
My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it this exhaustive report consists of 14 pages of text plus 7 photos as published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in great condition, the cover is in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First Class Postage to U. S.; $5.00 Priority; $11.95 for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax. Thanks,
Tom
