Book Synopsis
A seamstress from somewhere out West writes to Henry, her hero, that she will be in New York to watch the Mammoths play on the Fourth of July. When she arrives in New York, both the married Henry and his pal, the very unmarried Thurston Piney Woods, are at a loss as to what to do with their visitor.

Trade Review
"Mr. Harris' vernacular novel . . . is very alive and funny and does not suffer from being in anyone's shadow."-J. P Sisk, Commonweal
"Provoke[s] the sort of laughter that a grown man needn't be ashamed of, and that, as current fiction goes, is saying a great deal. The story is . . . deftly and divertingly told."—Donald Malcolm, New Republic
