Alex Sweet's Texas
Sweet, Alexander E / Eisenhour, Virginia
Alexander Edwin Sweet (1841-1901) is Texas' own 'Sifter', whose humorous columns appeared in the "Galveston Daily News" in the late 1870s and early 1880s. This title demonstrates why the "New York Journal" pronounced Sweet 'second to no living writer in freshness, originality, sparkling wit, and refined humor'.
