He was originally a Washington, DC correspondent, original member of the Gridiron Club and firm friend of Grover Cleveland. After the Panic of 1893, he joined The Times, The New York Herald, and The Tribune until returning to the New York Times.

The book contains a wide variety of household tips and historical facts of that time.

Wentworth Press supposedly picked up the book and republished it, but Wentworth is an Australian publisher that is out of business.
