Hit or Miss Column Reminiscences and Quips
A humorous miscellany by C. HW. Leetlefellow includes a Riverdale boy’s dream of 17 trains and polite cars, jokes about Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson, banker Rosenstien’s plea to creditors, prune temptations, and light political and social quips. It weaves anecdotes about modern oddities, reporters, and public figures with local color.
