Original decorative olive-green cloth. vi, 298 pp. Illustrated. 12mo. Average binding wear. Cocked. A Very Good copy. "A picaresque novel in the Twainsian style about young Patsy O'Hoolahan, native of a squalid New York tenement, and his adventures as he makes his way in the world, working a riverboat on the Erie Canal, becoming part of a troupe of traveling players, etc. Elliott Barnes, appears to have been an actor himself, as well as the author of at least one successful play, Only a Farmer's Daughter, and he married a member of the corps de ballet of a traveling opera company, so one presumes his novel boasts some degree of verisimilitude, if nothing else."
