Whimsical Tales and Quirky Vignettes From a Century Past
A collage of rustic anecdotes and social sketches quotes travelers, shop signs, and street conversations. Snippets feature a French gentleman and a dialect mishmash, a Cincinnati pickpocket, a deadhead joke, market banter, a tavern tale, and a Georgia traveler with a remarkable nose provoking comic misrecognitions and gentle mockery.
