Odds and Ends. A scattered miscellany of 19th century notes
A patchwork of short items touching public figures, places, events, and curiosities. Notes mention Beecher, McClellan in Paris, desertions, divorces, taxes on dogs in Tennessee, a Newfoundland railroad, and various cultural tidbits from cities like New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Tone is brisk, catalog-like, with quick facts and quips.
