Pranks and public mischief in a political race
A humorous tale recounts Colonel Singleton’s Arkansas congressional bid derided by rivals. During a horseback electioneering ride a creek joke backfired as Singleton dismounted to cross, clothes were soaked, he swore, then chased opponents fifteen miles after regaining his dress. Also includes notes correcting nautical distance terms.
