Provoking Propinquity and Oddities from a 1824 Column
In a curio filled column from February 20 1824 Edgar Nye riffs on Downton era topics from a Rhode Island doctor’s far western misadventures to a hotelier named Lolless who buys and resells chickens. The piece jokes about rail tickets and a barber pole caper while weighing Queen Victoria and propinquity in marriages with sly humor and social observation. It blends anecdotes of travel, etiquette satire, and reflections on wealth and manners with faux historical musings.

Notable fortunes like Gould, Vanderbilt, and Taylor rise through careful reinvestment and legal management as seen in many famous dynasties and properties across New York, including the Dodge and Potter families.
