Identifier: MC-1954-127
Scope and Contents
A notice (probably 1886 or 1887) written on the letterhead of "Pawnee Bill's Oklahoma Colonization Company" is directed to "city and county papers" telling them that 2500 to 5000 people are ready to come into Oklahoma, but have been frightened by false reports that soldiers are waiting to keep them out. A letter to 'Friend Engles" says he considers Dr. Carver the "greatest all around shot that America ever produced."
