Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. "Picaroons" by Gelett Burgess and Will Irwin was published collaboratively in 1904 by McClure, Phillips and Company in their Special Editions series. As explained in a prefatory note, a Picaroon is "a petty rascal; one who lives by his wits; an adventurer. This San Francisco Night's Entertainment is an attempt to render similar subjects in essentially modern settings. Gelett Burgess was a major player in the San Francisco Bay Literary Renaissance of the 1890s. He was publisher of some literary magazines which specialized in lampoons and satire. It was Burgess who first wrote about French Modern Art for Americans with an essay titled "The Wild Men of Paris". For modern readers he is most likely remembered for his nonsense poem "The Purple Cow" "I never saw a purple cow I never hope to see one; But I can tell you, anyhow, I'd rather see than be one!" Gelett Burgess is also more often remembered - with nostalgia - for his famous creation in verse and cartoon format of "The Goops": Will Irwin was an author and journalist, who is now associated with Muckrakers. Irwin was a local lad, born in Oneida, New York, and then moving with his family to the village of Clayville, located south of Utica on Rte 8; then they moved to Leadville Colorado. Irwin was a reporter for the "San Francisco Chronicle", and then for the "New York Sun". His story on the San Francisco Earthquake was read across the nation. When World War I broke out, Irwin traveled to Europe where he was one of the first journalists to report on the use of poison gas by the Germans. He continued to write for newspapers, but also authored a number of books. "The Picaroons" was issued in 1904 as a collaborative effort, and while quite entertaining as a read, is now just about forgotten by the modern world. I warrant some good laughs for discerning readers. CONTENTS: - A MIRACLE AT COFFEE JOHN'S . The Story of the Great Bauer Syndicate - JAMES WISWELL COFFIN 3d .
