Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compilation of humorous sketches and burlesques published by an army officer in 1855. It employs literary satire and linguistic jabs to poke fun at various aspects of life in California during the Gold Rush, particularly the hubris of those who flocked to the region seeking their fortunes. These reports, though written nearly two centuries ago, are still relevant today. They are a fine example of a uniquely American brand of humor that seeks to cut down to size those who take themselves, and indeed life itself, too seriously. These timeless dispatches introduce us to a satirist who wielded his pen as a weapon against the absurd, the pretentious, and the pompous. The author, while a soldier by trade, was a humorist at heart, and this book is a testament to the power of wit to challenge authority and inspire laughter.
