Excerpt from Bohemian Days: Three American Tales Solar from the first tale in this book being of political motive, it was written among the subjects of it, and read to several of them in 1864. Perhaps the only souvenir of refugee and skedaddler life abroad during the war ever published, its preservation may one day be useful in the socialistic archives of the South, to whose posterity slavery will seem almost a mythical thing. With as little bias in the second tale, I have etched the young Northern truant abroad during the secession. The closing tale, more recently written, in the midst of constant toil and travel, is an attempt to recall an old suburb, now nearly erased and illegible by the ex tension oi a great city, and may be considered a home American picture about contemporary with the European.

Bohemian Days Three American Tales by George Alford Townsend Pdf
Townsend was a noted American war correspondent who wrote dispatches, travelogues, and other types of historical fiction dealing with America. He was also an acquaintance of Mark Twain's. From the intro: "So far from the first tale in this book being of political motive, it was written among the subjects of it, and read to several of them in 1864. Perhaps the only souvenir of refugee and "skedaddler" life abroad during the war ever published, its preservation may one day be useful in the socialistic archives of the South, to whose posterity slavery will seem almost a mythical thing. With as little bias in the second tale, I have etched the young Northern truant abroad during the secession. The closing tale, more recently written, in the midst of constant toil and travel, is an attempt to recall an old suburb, now nearly erased and illegible by the extension of a great city, and may be considered a home American picture about contemporary with the European tales."
The Entailed Hat; Or, Patty Cannon's Times by George Alfred Townsend Pdf
In 'The Entailed Hat or, Patty Cannon's Times', George Alfred Townsend offers a gripping and authentic portrayal of the illegal slave trade and murder ring led by Patty Cannon, co-leader of the Cannon-Johnson Gang. Set on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, where Townsend was born and raised, the novel unfolds slowly but surely, revealing the truth about the Reverse Underground Railroad. Despite being a man of his time, Townsend's vivid descriptions of locale, dialogue, and characters make for an engaging and believable read. Readers are transported to Princess Anne, an old seat of justice and gentle-minded town on the Eastern Shore, where eccentric citizens like Jack Wonnell and Meshach Milburn (or "Steeple-top") are identified by their hats. The first chapter alone sets the stage for a gripping tale of mystery, intrigue, and historical significance.
Daniel Cottom traces the vagabond word "bohemia" as it migrated across national borders over the course of the nineteenth century—from France to the United States, England, Italy, Spain, and Germany—and how it was transformed, contested, or rejected along the way.
Fascinating study recaptures the vibrantly eccentric lifestyles of American hipsters and outsider artists. Accurate, well-illustrated narrative profiles the lives and manners of nonconformists from the early 19th century through the Beat Generation.
Published in 1933, the first edition of this classic narrative chronicled the lives of America's bohemians, from Edgar Allen Poe in the early 1800s to Walt Whitman and Ambrose Bierce. The book caused a sensation when it was released in March 1933, with reviews and excerpts printed in magazines such as Esquire, American Mercury, and other popular titles of the time. Complete with a comprehensive index, the book was a major historical source for many years. This updated edition, first published in 1960, includes a meticulous and well-researched account of the Beat Generation, from Jack Kerouac to Allen Ginsberg, and their literary achievements. Not merely a sentimental collection of tales of days gone by, this is a fascinating study of vibrant and eccentric times. Complete with cartoons, illustrations, and photographs, this is an accurate depiction of the lives and manners of America's bohemians. AUTHOR BIO: Albert Parry was the author of the landmark 1933 book Tattoo, Secrets of a Strange Art as Practised by the Natives of the United States, and was an early contributor to the "reefer madness" craze with his article "The Menace of Marihuana" in the December 1935 issue of American Mercury.
