George Ade called Mason "the high priest of horse sense", Sir Arthur Conan Doyle pronounced him "delightful", while James Whitcomb Riley enthused over the "facetious, capricious, delicious poems of Walt Mason". Mary Roberts Rinehart explained "I have Walt Mason and coffee every morning, and one is as necessary as the other, but coffee gives me heartburn and Walt doesn't". Theodore Dreiser recounted how Mason had enlivened "many a dreary railway journey" for him. . .See photos for additional content. . .

When this book was published, Walt Mason was called "The most widely read writer in the world today," as well as "the Poet Laureate of the American Democracy, & the high priest of horse sense. It was said that he wrote, for thousands of people, in plain, bed-rock vernacular, the very things they have been wanting to say. He wrote for a number of newspapers, including the Detroit Free Press. Apparently he was born a Canadian, had strong ties to Kansas, and was syndicated across the United States. Much on Walt Mason can be learned by googling his name. This is a VERY RARE and handsome piece of Americana.
