The Orpheus C. Kerr Papers, Series 3

R. H. Newell

American Literature, Humour

The Orpheus C. Kerr Papers, Series 3 is a satirical collection of letters written by R. H. Newell during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Through the fictional correspondent Orpheus C. Kerr, Newell provides a humorous commentary on political affairs and societal issues of the time, addressing figures like President Abraham Lincoln. The work is notable for its witty and sarcastic style, blending clever narratives with mock-serious prose to reflect the absurdities of war and power dynamics in American history.
