1927. Pictures by Grim Natwick. A posthumous publication of the
writings of humorist, Will Rogers. From the foreword: In a little
over a score of years he had risen from obscurity to become not
only America's foremost comedian, but an Ambassador to the World
and the best beloved character of these United States. He had been
a cowboy, a performer in a circus, an actor on both the stage and
the screen, a lecturer, a writer, a world traveler. For all his
varied experience, he retained a natural simplicity of outlook
which enabled him to express in terse, commonsense, witty phrases
the thoughts and feelings of the common man. He concealed under a
quizzical rustic manner that was infinitely winning the breadth of
wisdom and the real comprehension of world events that were his. He
was always himself; no King, nor President, nor other exalted
personage could overawe him or claim exemption from his humorous
and pointed quips. His targets became his friends. Never was he
more engaging, or funnier, than in this classic tale of a hospital
experience, which is presented here in this volume. See other
