Fool's Enterprise: The Life of Charles Page

by Opal B. Clark

The year was 1907. The depression left many unemployed and in need. Charles Page, a Tulsa Oil Man, had an idea that would not only create jobs, but rescue widows and orphans from destitution. Many, friends and critics alike, called it "A Fool’s Enterprise". “Daddy Page”, as his orphans had named him, called it a dream. This is his story.

Probably not for most but if you grew up in west Tulsa its a must. Explaining the unique way that Sand Springs Oklahoma came to be and the man who had the vision.

There’s not a lot out there on Charles Page; this is easily the most complete biography I’ve found. Was the basis for my research when I began filming my documentary on Page.

This was a interesting biography of Charles Page founder of Sand Springs Oklahome in which I live.

[Ryne Isaac]

Fascinating story of how Sand Springs, OK (a community our church serves) was literally founded to support an orphanage. Charles Page had amazing vision and the ability to makes those dreams a reality. This is history that shouldn't be forgotten.
