Paddle Your Own Canoe and Niagara Falls Misadventure
A humorous travel piece mixes a ballad exhortation to “paddle your own canoe” with a chaotic Niagara Falls visit. The narrator encounters scams, misleading signs, and comic misadventure as he taunts and is attacked by a fictional native tribe before a chaotic escape ends with injuries and a mock coroner’s inventory.

Singular superstition in Marlboro and New York tale
A Massachusetts family near Marlboro is blamed for a fatal case of consumption and bizarre ritual claims about extracting organs from the dead. The narrative shifts to a long 1816 tale in New York of a hunter killed by a fake bear hunter turned killer and a later 1837 banker revenge saga involving Philip Sidney and Stephen Edwards.
