Sinopsis
Excerpt from Ventures in Common Sense
While the editor was arguing angrily with a number of men about the iniquity of the circus, and the men were laughing merrily, I told Jim I intended to make a sneak, and see the circus, if I died for it. J im was a good boy, and warned me not to, but when he saw I was determined, be accompanied me in the wild run we made for liberty.
When we reached the street, we found the circus had not yet arrived, so we set out with a number of other boys to meet it. We knew it was to come in on The F alls road; every boy knew that, somehow, so we travelled that way until we became suspicious, and turned back. Reaching town, tired and hungry, we found the circus had arrived by another road, and that the parade, 'and the afternoon performance, were over.

Excerpt from Ventures in Common Sense
When I was a little boy, living on a farm, my father returned one evening from the country town where he had been several days, and announced that he had bought the weekly paper printed there. I had no idea what a printing office was like, but soon had opportunity to find out, for the next morning I was taken to town, and turned over to the foreman, who was told to make a printer of me.
The man who taught me the trade was an old-fashioned printer named Martin, who had a bed in the office, and who wrote stories for the New York Mercury played the guitar, sang ballads, and took part in amateur theatricals.
My brother Jim worked with me, and we worshipped Mr. Martin. He gave us little suppers in the office at night, when we had rare things to eat we had heard of, but never hoped to taste; including cove oysters with little round crackers, instead of the big square kind. At the conclusion of these suppers, Mr. Martin told us stories. Usually we became so sleepy that he was compelled to drag us into his bed, and spend the night himself on a pallet on the floor.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on an engaging journey into a charming small-town America from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. It's an anecdotal account of a bygone era's daily life, seen through the eyes of a young newspaper editor. The author's personal anecdotes and vivid descriptions paint a colorful, humorous picture of the people and events that shaped his community in those formative years. Through entertaining stories about eccentric personalities, local events, and the growing pains of a rural town on the cusp of industrialization, this book offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past and a unique perspective on the human condition. Its insights into the complexities of small-town life, the pursuit of dreams, and the challenges and rewards of community are as relevant today as they were a century ago.
