A copy of ‘The Stratford Book / The Typographical Howitzer’ (Cincinnati, Ohio: The Stratford Press, 1947). The cover reads ‘The Stratford Book Devoted to Reprints of Short Familiar Classics and Some Not so Familiar … number 3 of a series’. The pamphlet is a short story by Sam Davis about Mark Twain and Dan de Quille fighting off a band of Native Americans with a howitzer armed only with paper.
