- "[PJS]'s fantastic tale of the wanderings of an innocent satirist in modern America." --entire text of publisher advertisement NY Times 1925-05-03 pBR25
- "[T]he story of the nomad purports to have been originally written on cornshucks, the outer husks of the corn from which true mountain dew [moonshine] is made." A heavily educated, unpublished poet from the mountains, grandson of a Virginia gentleman, travels alone and then with two companions, with picaresque adventures. "The story is far too lighthearted and irresponsible to be termed officially a satire. Nevertheless, its dedication to James Branch Cabell, Esq., is entirely fitting." --review by Emily Clark, NY Herald and NY Tribune 1925-06-28 pD4 (positive)
