The Major's Daughter by Regina Jennings

This book is the third of a series. This story takes place at the time of the Oklahoma land run. Caroline, the oldest daughter of the Major in charge of the local cavalry post, returns from an extended visit with her grandmother and soon after comes in contact with Frisco Smith, a man she had contact with when she lived at the post before. Frisco is preparing to run in the land run and Caroline decides she will run too. She wants to try her hand at homesteading. She borrows her mount from the stables and goes to participate without her father’s knowledge. None of the folks that see her on the starting line believe she will be able to keep up, but not only is she an excellent horsewoman, but she also knows the land well enough to know a shortcut. She beats Frisco to the spot he had his heart set on and since they are both stubborn, they both dig in their heels. It is funny and also gives insight into a historical event.
