Bøger af Daniel F. Littlefield

In a preface to this new edition Daniel Littlefield explains the continuing significance of this subject.

Most of Alexander Posey's short and remarkable life was devoted to literary pursuits. Through a widely circulated satirical column published under the pseudonym Fus Fixico, he did much to document and draw attention to conditions in Indian Territory. This book tells his story.
