Trade paperback. 'The Picaroons' is one of Gelett Burgess’s earliest books, and one of two which he wrote in collaboration with Will Irwin. A compendium of tall tales, wild adventures, and satire, 'The Picaroons' follows the adventures of a band of down-and-outers in San Francisco. Staked by a sympathetic cockney restaurateur named Coffee John to the most meager of working capital, each adventurer sets out to make his fortune via a get-rich-quick scheme, each more audacious than the next. With an introduction by Richard A. Lupoff
