"A Tight Squeeze: The adventures of a gentleman, who, on a wager of ten thousand dollars, undertook to go from New York to New Orleans in three weeks without money, as a professional tramp" by William Staats, offers a rollicking adventure into a bygone era. This humorous tale follows the exploits of a man who accepts a daring wager: to travel from New York to New Orleans in a mere three weeks, penniless, and disguised as a tramp.

Staats's narrative unfolds as a series of comical challenges and unexpected encounters. The protagonist's journey tests his wit and resourcefulness as he navigates the social landscape, relying on his charm and ingenuity to survive. A blend of adventure and humor, this classic story offers a glimpse into a unique slice of American life. Readers will delight in the character's escapades and the author's sharp observations. This meticulously prepared reprint preserves the timeless quality of the original work.
