Excerpt from Excelsior Dear Readers: I consign to your consideration these several songs and poems with the assurance of scholars, as well as of my neighbors and friends, that they are first-class matter in their character of humorous, pathetic and political verse. I shall not assume that my work is perfection, also there are those who take some of the jokes with a very ill grace, viz., boozers, et als. The references to Dutch and Italians are off in some respects as to translation - Italiano, an Italian, Italiana, an Italian lady, Italiani, Italians, Italiane, Italian ladies, etc. We're "hobben, gay hopped, gay mocked hobben." But we shall try to get our foreign phrases into more apt form next time. My title to the name of the old fort is well founded. My honorable mother was born at Sutter's Fort, September 8, 1846.
