A poetic fragment about a flower of love and a tragic blaze in a saloon where Indian Mary and a child perish. Joe Backsey rescues the infant but dies from burns, prompting a sobering headboard inscription parody. The piece blends sentiment with frontier humor and urban disaster.
Mr. Peter A. Dey, initial surveyor of the first hundred miles of the Pacific Road, refused to alter cost estimates to $50,000 per mile. He resigned after detecting fabrication to raise costs and embankments on paper, signaling distrust in management and noting managers as trustees of Congress. Also notes Tea exports from India to England in 1872 and joint stock company culture.
