The Oklahoma Boomers and Dave Payne’s Kansas Ties
Historian Atkins notes the incomplete life of Dave Payne, Oklahoma pioneer, born in Jonesboro Grant County Indiana, who moved to Burr Oak township Kansas in the 1850s, served in the 10th Kansas, held posts from state senate sergeant at arms to Fort Leavenworth postmaster, and later engaged in Oklahoma ventures. Payne, a generous but debt-prone figure, died suddenly at the breakfast table, leaving a tangle of loans and land losses tied to Governor Carney and political shifts of the era.

Fragmented Scribbles on Arts and Figures of a Distant Era
A dense, error-filled excerpt blends names, inventions, and scenes across Germany, Venice, and Britain. It mentions Chevalier van Poewyek, a Giniatia engraver, and various invented devices and individuals. The text resembles a chaotic montage of biographical and technical notes with numerous nonstandard spellings and garbled phrases.
