Hints to Country Bumpkins, by a Country Bumpkin (1885)

Hints To Country Bumpkins, By A Country Bumpkin (1885) is a humorous and satirical guidebook written by an anonymous author, who claims to be a fellow ""country bumpkin."" The book is full of witty advice and observations on various aspects of rural life, including farming, hunting, fishing, and social etiquette. The author pokes fun at the ignorance and naivety of country folk, while also celebrating their simple way of life. The book is divided into short chapters, each offering a different piece of advice or commentary. Some of the topics covered include how to dress for a country dance, how to make moonshine, and how to avoid getting lost in the woods. The author's tongue-in-cheek tone and playful humor make this book an entertaining read for anyone interested in the quirks and idiosyncrasies of rural life in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
