This is the third of Mr. Lewis's delightful series of works on Wolfville life.

This volume deals with the same characters that appeared in his two preceding books, and the scene is laid in the same locality, Wolfville that Lewis almost certainly emulated the real town of Tombstone.

In 1903, The Bookman said of Wolfville Nights: "Nothing so fascinating has been written since the early stories of Bret Harte. Humorous to the last degree, with an occasional touch of pathos, and full of quaint philosophy that makes fascinating reading."

This edition of the book contains the original illustration, rejuvenated, and nine additional illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book.

Alfred Henry Lewis (January 20, 1855 - December 23, 1914) was an American investigative journalist, lawyer, novelist, editor, and short story writer. He began his career as a staff writer at the Chicago Times, and eventually became editor of the Chicago Times-Herald.

During the late 19th century, he wrote muckraker articles for Cosmopolitan. As an investigative journalist, Lewis wrote extensively about corruption in New York politics. This was the subject of his book The Boss, and How He Came to Rule New York, which focused on the Tammany Hall society of the 18th century. He also wrote biographies of Irish-American politician Richard Croker (1843-1922), and of Andrew Jackson (1767-1845), seventh President of the United States.

As a writer of genre fiction, his most successful works were in his Wolfville series of Western fiction, which he continued writing until he died of gastrointestinal disease in 1914.
