BUMMER & LAZARUS A true
story, as reported in the newspapers of 1861 - 1865 by Malcolm E. Barker |
Trade paperback, xxxiv, 80 pages, |
This amusing mix of satirical cartoons and deliciously embroidered newspaper accounts tells the story of two dogs who roamed the streets of San Francisco in the early 1860s. Bummer and Lazarus became local heroes because of their unique bond of friendship and their expertise at killing the rats that were plaguing the city. Malcolm E. Barker debunks the myths that have evolved around these canny canines and presents their charming story as it originally appeared in newspapers between 1861 and 1865. "A wonderful addition to the shelf of Sanfriscana!" (Herb Caen.) |
