101 Ranch Band

A period postcard shows a band at the 101 Ranch, led in the image by a performer identified in the repository description as Chief Jerronomo.

The documented story

The postcard documents the band as part of the ranch’s public spectacle during the 1910s.

People and leadership

The image caption identifies a visible leader only through the archive’s historical label; it does not establish the ensemble’s bandmaster or the person’s identity independently.

Community and organization

The band was associated with the 101 Ranch and its touring-show environment near Ponca City.

Reading the evidence

The site should quote or attribute the catalog wording rather than silently identifying “Chief Jerronomo” as Geronimo or another person. The record does not prove a continuous band throughout the postcard’s broad date range.

Questions for further research

Roster, director, exact photograph date, and tour chronology remain unknown; ranch-wide context is available from OHS but must not be substituted for band-specific evidence.
