This is me,
Laura G Lea,
holding the first T.I.S.T.R.I.V.I.A.L. historical narrative
available to the public in the current era, entitled:
The Annotated
OSCAR de la XERIC
and the LAST KNOWN WILD
BLUE-HORN CATTLE HERD
Plus other INHABITANTS of
and VISITORS to
X-BAR RANCH, NEW MEXICO, EARTH

This annotated (by the co-authors) historical chronicle is about
Oscar de la Xeric, an intrepid man of short stature (shown here with his trusty palomino Xena), circa 1995, who has aspirations to build his reputation as a renowned artist. He moves to X-Bar Ranch, New Mexico,
the one place on Earth where he can acquire cow patties from the last known wild Blue-horn cattle herd, the medium he’s been told is in accordance with a prophecy passed down in his family
for over four hundred years.
Visitors from other planets, disregarding the Universal Non-Interference Policy, set in motion a series of events that bring havoc to Oscar’s goals and
threaten extinction of an exotic breed of cattle.

Along with Oscar de la Xeric and Xena, the following humans, animals, and extraterrestrials play key roles in the chronicle: (front row, from left) Abe Parham, Buster, Conner Flats, Whiskers, Shiloh Priestly, Lucy Pendleton, Grouchy Swelf, Venesbani, Zelda, Arthur. (back row, from right) Merle, Leroy Gibbs,
The Gilded Crow, Inspector Postum, Chief Merryweather, Dark Clad Figure, Nana, Amy Aims, Fred 'Mack' Mackenzie.
Plus, of course, the last known wild Blue-horn cattle herd (not pictured):
Auntie, BB, Big-Un, Cloy, Doolie, Einstein, Ernie, George, JoeJoe, Little-Un, Lolly, Kicks, Marbles, NoName, Penny, Pops, Quincy, Riddles, Rover, Rowdy,
Ruby G., Rusty, Spoons, Tilly, Tiny, Z.Z.
While little is known about the entire Society's membership, the twelve members* who researched, authored, illustrated, and annotated The Annotated OSCAR de la XERIC and the Last Known Wild Blue-horn Cattle Herd are described in the credits as being from Earth as well as planets outside the boundaries of our era's current body of knowledge.
Whether the volunteer historians are human, humanoid, or some other category of Being originating from presently uncharted planets is a matter of speculation at this time.

According to information found in OSCAR de la XERIC and the Last Known Wild Blue-Horn Cattle Herd, T.I.S.T.R.I.V.I.A.L. is from a time so far ahead of ours that intergalactic travel is relatively common.
Other than that, we have no clue when in the future this group exists. There was no discernible date of publication on the report. And even if there had been some recognizable date designation, we probably would not be able to determine its meaning in relation to our own dating system since calendars undergo significant alternations over time.
