Bill Nye's Sparks by Bill Nye (1850 - 1896)

By: ciesse
  • Summary

  • Humorist Bill Nye, in his brief 46 years, served as justice of the peace, newspaperman, miner, and postmaster in the rough town of Laramie, Wyoming. This 1901 edition, published after his death, includes a Biographical tribute to Nye, quoting his dear friend, Hoosier poet James Whitcomb Riley: "He was unselfish wholly, and I am broken-hearted, recalling the always patient strength and gentleness of this true man, the unfailing hope and cheer and faith of his child-heart, his noble and heroic life, and pure devotion to his home, his deep affections, constant dreams, plans and realizations." This book of humorous stories and essays are wonderful examples of Nye's "child-heart" of mirth. - Summary by Dale Barkley, proudly from Laramie
