Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wars of the Western Border: Or, New Homes and a Strange People We are about to write what nobody reads - a Preface. Did you ever, kind reader, see a young mamma in all the flutter and anxiety of adorning her "latest production" for its first appearance upon some public promenade? for if you have, you may the more fully appreciate our trepidation in sending this youngster, all unattended, into the world, to court the smiles of those crabbed old fellows, the critics, and win, if we be lucky, its "little meed of fame," from that no less difficult class to please - "our readers." But to carry out the simile, let us suppose the "infant phenomenon" aforesaid - not ours but the anxious mamma´s - to be ugly by nature - in short, as peevish, squalling, ill-behaved, and unbearable a brat as ever pulled "grandpa´s" hair or screamed lustily after midnight - to how great an extent then are our young matrons perplexities increased as she "fusses and fixes," scolds "nurse" and soothes "baby;" and where, let us ask, will you find a more ill-tempered or naturally repulsive original production than this very unpromising offspring of Pro-Slavery and Free Soil, which we are about to exhibit under the somewhat hackneyed title of "The War in Kansas."
