The volume is titled, on 1r, "Aftermath of ye Great War Vol 3." It contains regular dated entries from 3 September 1922 to 8 February 1923. Often, these entries begin with snippets from the press, relating to local (Pittsburgh), national, or international events. Or the point of departure may be a newspaper portrait or other image. In any case, sardonic commentary often follows, in prose or verse. The opening of the preface (1v) sets the tone: "It is now nigh onto 4 years since the bloody Butchers in Europe called a halt to the Christian slaughter and nearly 2 years have past since the American Nero [Wilson] resigned his throne to the easy going golfer from the Buckeye State [Harding]. They have been long and weary years years of famine and darkness with the same old ruffians running the Government for the benefit of the few." Topics of recurring concern are Ireland and the Free State; the Ruhr; the Greeks and Turks; Prohibition; and American politics generally (with much on Pittsburgh).
