Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Streaks of Squatter Life, and Far-West Scenes, Vol. 1: A Series of Humorous Sketches Descriptive of Incidents and Character in the Wild West, to Which Are Added Other Miscellaneous Pieces In offering the following sketches to the public, I feel somewhat like the hoosier candidate described his sensations, when he first essayed to deliver a stump speech : "I felt," said he, "that ef I could ony git the beginnin´ out - ef I could ony say ´fellar citizens!" that arter that it ´ud go jest as easy as corn shuckin´!" So with your humble servant, if this my first effort at book making should meet with favor, I feel that a second attempt would be a pleasing task. To all adventurers in the field of literature the slightest encouragement is a shower of success - in my own case a smile upon my effort will swell in my estimation to a downright "snigger" The commendation which was bestowed upon the sketch of "Swallowing Oysters Alive," was some evidence that it tickled the public taste, and, of course, its wide approval tickled the fancy of the author; so if this collection be an infliction upon the reading public´s taste, they have themselves to blame - they offered the temptation. It is unnecessary for me to apologise for their style, for to pretend a capability to furnish any better, I don´t - and their finish will be excused when I state, they are the productions of the few short hours outside of eight in the morning and ten at night, the time between being occupied by arduous duties which almost forbid thought, save of themselves.
