In its completeness and closeness of imitation, this anonymous work is the best parody extant of the Song of Hiawatha. From the introduction, and the first chapter, it will be gathered that the hero is a poor little gutter child, who grows up to be a thief. The following chapters trace his career in crime, and the last describes his departure to Australia as a repentant emigrant.
