Odds and Ends Highlights From A Busy Era
A collage of notes and tidbits covers Anna Dickinson writing two more plays, opium dismissals in China, Cornell graduating 70, and many curious claims. References span Ben Butler, Beecher’s California trip, a Connecticut gentleman named Peter Damatello, and Dallas elections wrestling with the whipping post. It notes muskets for mobs, a team called The Gong, income gaps in Europe, Texas's first American woman Jane Long, North Carolina distilleries, and varied odds about politics, science, and travel with colorful asides and proverbial lines.
