Fragmentary 19th Century Notes on Debt and Dishonesty
A collection of garbled figures and anecdotes cites Tennessee state debt about 26 million dollars, Texas hides exports near 300000 dollars, and a claim that public libraries in Iowa hold vast volumes. It also mentions moonshine violence, Benedictine orders, a Mount Pivasint teacher, and a dubious bread yeast ad, all presented in fractured early journalism prose.
