Fragmented Civil War Era Notes From A Broadside
A garbled slice of Civil War era chatter mixing satire and social commentary. It references a beggar in New Orleans, Confederate notes, McClellan, Jeff Davis, and rebels, with scattered remarks on religion, news, and price data. It mentions sugarcoated proverbs, agricultural tips, and weather asides, all in a disjointed column voice.
