Wraps with some staining, and interior repairs to chips. Back wrapper with photo of the railroad tracks near Hot Springs, Arkansas. Frontispiece of the author, and a photo of his young niece (the dedicatee), and 26 plates of characters and places he saw along the way; including John Brown's cabin and monument, Belle Star, John Maledon (the hangman), a facsimile of an early Indian newspaper, the interior of a coach car with passengers and the conductor. The trip narrative is followed with pages of conundrums (jokes), some of his horrible poems - almost as bad as those of Amanda McKittrick Ros, Julia Moore (the sweet singer of Michigan), or William McGonagall. He writes of his experiences with Oklahoma outlaws, much of it plagerized and incorrect. He calls Belle a murderess (she was not), and names Fort Smith as the headquarters of the Starr Gang (it was not) and makes errors galore. Amusing read, but Mansell should have stuck to Pullman Conducting. Six Guns and Saddle Leather, 1569.
