Nye

REMARKS (Illustrated and Annotated) Nye

Edgar Wilson "Bill" Nye (August 25, 1850 - February 22, 1896) was a American humorist. He was also the founder and editor of the Laramie Boomerang.
The Boomerang was founded while Nye was the postmaster of Laramie City, Wyoming Territory. It launched him to national fame, gaining subscribers in every state and some foreign countries. His humor was uniquely American.
This new edition of "Remarks" is followed by "Bill Nye's Cordwood".
Remarks:
"The range of subjects treated in this book is wonderful, even to me. It is a library of universal knowledge, and the facts contained in it are different from any other facts now in use. I have carefully guarded, all the way through, against using hackneyed and moth-eaten facts. As a result, I am able to come before the people with a set of new and attractive statements, so fresh and so crisp that an unkind word would wither them in a moment." - Summary by The Author
