Notes

Abstract: Momentous though it was, the Land Run of 1889 was only one event in the lives of the participants. While many sought only profit from the adventure, most were largely anonymous settlers who strived to live the American dream on their own land. Kenny L. Brown focuses on the life and accomplishments of one of those settlers, Will T. Little, '89er, pioneer editor, historian, and "the Johnny Appleseed of the Plains."
