Publisher's Synopsis
Uncle Josh's Punkin Centre Stories is a collection of humorous short stories written by Cal Stewart, originally published in 1903. The stories are narrated by Uncle Josh Weathersby, a fictional character from the rural town of Punkin Centre, who tells tales of his misadventures and those of his fellow townspeople. The stories are filled with exaggerated dialect and colloquialisms, which add to their charm and humor. The book includes classic stories such as ""The Skating Party"", ""The Talking Machine"", and ""The Medicine Show"". The stories provide a glimpse into life in rural America in the early 1900s and offer a lighthearted and entertaining read.Folks at home said I'd be buncoed or have my pockets picked fore I'd bin here mor'n half an hour; wall, I fooled 'em a little bit, I wuz here three days afore they buncoed me.
