What is a straddlebug?
In the late 1800's during the Great Oklahoma Land Rush, a person would use a straddlebug to mark a quarter sections of land they wished to claim. The Straddlebug tripod was commonly constructed from three planks of wood to which the claimant attached his name. It was a way to notify others that a claimant or his agent was on the way to the nearest land office to file a claim.
