Edgar Wilson Nye was a well-known American journalist and humorist. His syndicated columns, sometimes an entire page in length, were written to entertain readers, and often included illustrations. Nye also established the Laramie Boomerang (Wyoming) in 1881. He was a fixture in newspapers across the country until his death in 1896. Click on the images below to read more in the Wichita Eagle:
