Writer and statesman, George Wilbur Peck may be best known today for his "Peck's Bad Boy" series of stories, but in the 1880s he was a newspaperman who ran a paper named for himself, Peck's Sunshine.
This book is filled with more than 100 of his columns, editorials and person opinion pieces from a period of a few years. There are far too many subjects to even begin mentioning, but it is safe to say that Peck held nothing so sacred as his own opinion about how things ought to be.
Well, okay. Here are a few of his pet subjects:
Humans and dogs, keeping a cow, should people be allowed to hug in city parks, cannibals, badgers with half a tail, religion and fish, and many others.
