Most of Alexander Posey's short and remarkable life was devoted to literary pursuits. Through a satirical column published under the pseudonym "Fus Fixico", he did much to document and draw attention to conditions in Indian Territory. This is the biography of Alexander Posey, a pioneer of American Indian literature and a shaper of public opinion.
