Sunbeams

Published in the early 1900s, 'Sunbeams' by George Wilbur Peck is a collection of humorous essays that critique social and political issues of the time, often reflecting small-town America. Many of these essays were originally published in Peck's newspaper, 'The Sun', and showcase his gentle sarcasm reminiscent of Mark Twain. Topics include the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, food safety, and the economic debates surrounding bimetallism, all delivered with wit and insight into contemporary concerns.
