Living Truths for Head and Heart

"Five hundred thrilling anecdotes and incidents, humorous stories, personal experiences and adventures, touching home scenes, and tales of tender pathos drawn from the bright and shady side of life"

by John B. Gough

Hartford: A. D. Worthington & Co. Publishers, 1890. 'Illustrated with 225 engravings'. A thick old book with a handsome spine, full of all sorts of crazy old stories. Some light wear and marking to covers (see photographs). It looks like a front blank page was removed.
