Handset Reminiscences

Rambling memoirs of a peripatetic newspaperman who set type and wrote copy in New York, San Francisco, Virginia City, Savannah, Michigan, Colorado, New Mexico, and Bingham, Utah, among other locations. Jerry Benedict Graham sailed to California in 1860 via the Isthmus and later worked with Mark Twain, Joe Goodman, and Steve Gillis on the Comstock; and he is chock full of anecdotes about those experiences and many others.
