See the joys and admiration, the love, affection, and acts of kindness and appreciation of which so often is shown by and for the postman. Read of his hobbies, his habits, and of his trauma from a dreadful disease which was with him for the last twenty-five years, and into retirement. This is the true story of the experiences, the joy, and the sorrow of a city letter carrier in a mid-western city in the United States. Here-in he tells of his thirty-one years as a letter carrier, a two year period of which was on trial supervision, and sixteen years of retirement.

Carleton A. Coon, Sr., and Hoe L. Sanders formed the Coon-Sanders Orchestra in 1919 in Kansas City, Missouri. Three years later, under the name "Nighthawks," the band began broadcasting experimental, highly-popular midnight radio programs over Kansas City's WDAF. Their music was played all over the world, and the band remained one of America's top bands until Coon's death in 1932. Here is the complete history of the Coon-Sanders Orchestra, the band whose saucy, and bustling music and carefree and extravagant musicians symbolized the era between World War I and the Great Depression.
