#AuthenticFrontierGibberish

Sorry, but I can't resist posting this authentic frontier gibberish from the Bismarck Tribune, North Dakota, 1883, "An Old Frontiersman Talks":

"You say Ol Grant* was 'yar with the gang
And the capital's one hoo-doo
And the people cheered him like billy-be dang
Why, pardner, it can't be true!"

* US President Ulysses S. Grant
