Scarce follow-up to Brown's 1869 bit of post-bellum humor "Our Great Peace Festival and Pow-Wow." This Humstrum Convulsion promises to be bigger and better, "a regular screamer, an apoplectic, swelled-up sort of thing," featuring hurdy-gurdies, musical clams, fiddles, and the like. Full of word-play and a never-ending stream of jokes from the cheap to the satirical and absurd. No copies in retail at time of this writing.
