Collected in 1882 from Peck’s own Milwaukee weekly, Peck’s Sun, these short humorous pieces deal with a neighbour’s goat, a telescope fishing-pole cane, a churchgoer bounced for dancing, picnics that sour young men’s lives and the doubtful prospects of female doctors. The book opens with a mock courtroom plea of not guilty to the charge of publishing it.
