Notes
Published as a weekly serial, Sundays 1896-02-02 to -03-29, The Atlanta Constitution and elsewhere. Found in Bos. Globe and SF Chronicle. Title varies. Atlanta and Boston include illustrations by Oliver Herford.
Not simply a collection, as the frame story is substantial. Serialized as comprising chapters with titles, including for example: III. Gristle, the gray pony, begins his story; IV. Gristle, the gray pony, concludes his story.
