The Broken Leg. A Sunday Accident.

Revised by Daniel Kidder. Stab-stitched 64mo, 60pp. Lacking rear wrap, else Good with creasing and soil; contents complete. Frontispiece of Charlie looking sorry about his missing leg. Charlie was fooling around on the tracks in a developing railroad town on the Sabbath--instead of listening to a preacher in the town's pop-up church with his grandmother. He falls and breaks his leg, and because it is 1850, it has to be amputated. To alleviate any threat of vagary, the lesson is stated on the last page: "I lost my leg by playing on the Lord's day." 2 in OCLC.
