Hooper, Johnson J., Shields, Johanna N.

SUMMARY

Originally published in 1845, Adventures of Captain Simon Suggsis a series of sketches written in part to parody some the campaign literature of the era. The character, Simon Suggs, with his motto, "it is good to be shifty in a new country," fully incarnates a backwoods version of the national archetypes now know as the confidence man, the grafter, the professional flim-flam artist supremely skilled in the arts by which a man gets along in the world. This classic volume of good humor is set in the rough-and-tumble world of frontier life and politics.Hooper, Johnson J. is the author of 'Adventures of Captain Simon Suggs, Late of the Tallapoosa Volunteers; Together With "Taking the Census" and Other Alabama Sketches Late of the Tallapoosa Volunteers Together With "Taking the Census" and Other Alabama Sketches' with ISBN 9780817307066 and ISBN 0817307060.
