An account from the chapter on Paint township, in the words of 1914.

The county history of 1914 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 17 specimens collected within 10 miles of Bookwalter between 1882 and 1972: 10 Animalia, 4 Fungi, 3 Plantae. 10 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by J. A. Burbaker, Kellerman, W.A., Lloyd, C.G. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
