Wilder is a collection of humorous writings and sketches published in the early 20th century. This volume continues a tradition of American humor, featuring a diverse array of contributors including established writers and comedians, and touching on various aspects of life, society, and human nature, all rendered with wit and charm. At the start of this volume, readers are introduced to a selection of humorous pieces, illustrating different narrative styles and thematic elements. One piece humorously explores the peculiarities of being a Mason in a satirical poem about a character named Russell. Another sketch depicts the life of plantation residents Jim and Sarah Ann Bowles, who engage in a comedic dialogue regarding the challenges posed by a new railroad, including the loss of their beloved cow. Each piece captures a blend of satire and lighthearted observation, setting the tone for the entertaining literary journey that lies ahead in this collection.
