A quaint panorama describes life a century ago with no coal or gas heating, no iron stoves, and home cooking on brick hearths. Water came from deep wells, candles lit long winters, and temperatures in most rooms hovered near zero except in the warmest. A child asks where God lives, while stories of drinking and a clever quip from a student about brain information add local color to the era.
A fragmentary tale recalls General Grant in town with guest Awl and a royal encounter. Emperor Norton the First allegedly refused a match, prompting a quip about city expense and a cigar by night on Hattery Street with a humorous urban clash.
