  • 1863: Mark Twain reports that adventurer and alleged "Pirate of the Prairies" Wallace War-Heels "is preparing to rescue Galileo, or so he says. Impossible, I know, irrational, madness itself; yet I have seen him appear from thin air on a flying horse, and I have heard his strange discourse at some length, and though he is more a man than an angel, I believe he must partake of both."
