The Kansas editor remembers the kingdom of boyhood in a series of linked stories. Mealy Jones suffers martyrdom, the boys stage a Confederate victory of their own, James Sears proves a naughty person, and Piggy Pennington faces the agonies of first love over a pack of visiting cards, all with illustrations by Orson Lowell and Gustave Verbeek.
A funny, affectionate picture of Midwestern boyhood in the 1890s, in the vein of Tom Sawyer. Download the free EPUB.
