Mr. Brannan is well known, to the people of the West especially,
as an artist, and an occasional contributor of poetry to the Press. His
“Harp of a Thousand Strings,” a burlesque sermon, has been long
recognized as the best of its class. The present volume is one of
superior merit for the wit and humor of the Autobiography, the pathos,
imagination and smooth versification of the Occasional Pieces scattered
in profusion throughout. This work is destined to place Mr.
Brannan high in the rank of American Poets, and to give him position
as a leader among the Bards of the West.
