This 1911 copy of the "19th crop" of "Drummer's Yarns and Funny Jokes" subtitled "Original and Selected American Humor with Many Laughable Illustrations" is typical of a sub-genre of the pulp magazine precursors to comic books widely circulated at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. Named for and generally associated with "drummers" or traveling salesmen known for their often entertaining "spiels" laced with jokes and humor to appeal to whomever and whatever they were trying to "sell" these throw-away magazines could be found in train stations tobacco shops barber shops and hotels and diners wherever "drummers" and other travelers were likely to congregate.

It is a small piece of American history created to be read and trashed making any copies that have survived quite scarce and collectable. <br/> <br/> Excelsior Publishing Co. paperback

The original paper letterpress printed on laid paper good plus; the bottom left corner is missing no loss of text and there are some black smudges on the inner pages but all is legible.

He was hanged then beheaded with his head held up for exhibit before about 20000 spectators. There seems to be no evidence even today regarding his guilt or innocence of the treason charge. The articles prints his last words in which he declares his innocence and closes: "May it be the last account of such a nature that shall appear in this or any other paper!" Originally Despard and his 'conspirators' were sentenced to be drawn and quartered as well; the editor was spared describing that.
