NYE, EDGAR WILSON
(1850 - 1896) American humorist, founder and editor of the Laramie Boomerang in which appeared many of his humorous articles before being published in book form. Rare and fine content T.Ms. (unsigned), the third act for an untitled play, 27pp. 4to., loosely bound with string [n.p., n.d.]. The typescript play, involving a hodgepodge of country bumpkin characters, is littered with his caricatures in pen as well as a sketch of the scenery proposed and a few autographed corrections in pen and pencil. An interesting relic from one of the best known humorists of the late nineteenth century. Some chipping to margins, covers torn and loose, otherwise good condition.
