Titles handwritten in ink on front covers. Over five hundred pages of manuscript and illustrations, total. Near Fine.

The author, a Swedish immigrant, opens with an eye-catching, skillful ink illustration of a hand holding a pistol (the ring on the hand bearing the author's initials). The text below reads "ANYBODY CONSIDERING IT HIS PRIVILEGE TO USE MY PERSON AS A MEANS FOR THROWING DIRT ON THE FLAG OF SWEDEN IS KINDLY INVITED TO SEE ME ABOUT IT, PERSONALLY.
