Why this little book was published: "Having travelled through all the States and Territories of the Union; crossed the continent by the four different routes, and tried the pleasures of the coast steamers on both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, I have formed many pleasant acquaintances with "Knights of the Grip" in different parts of the country. And having something of a reputation as a natural reader and impersonator, I have often been called upon in Pullman cars, hotel parlors and other places, to furnish something in the way of entertainment for the "boys." In many cases I have been asked for copies of selections which I have given and sometimes have written copies in answer to such requests." Clean, tight, and complete.
