Hans Breitmann's Party, With Other Ballads is a collection of humorous and satirical poems written by Charles G. Leland. The titular character, Hans Breitmann, is a fictional German-American who is known for his love of drinking and partying. The book is filled with ballads that follow Hans and his friends on their misadventures, from getting into fights at taverns to chasing after women. The poems are written in a mix of English and German dialects, which adds to their charm and humor. Leland's writing style is playful and witty, and he often pokes fun at the stereotypes of German-Americans during the 19th century. In addition to the Hans Breitmann ballads, the book also includes other humorous poems, such as The Legend of Gambrinus and The Englishman in Italy. Overall, Hans Breitmann's Party, With Other Ballads is a delightful and entertaining read that offers a glimpse into the humor and culture of the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
