About this book

Twenty Years of Hus'ling is an 1887 memoir by J. P. Johnston, recounting the author's adventures as a travelling salesman and showman across nineteenth-century America. Breezy and anecdotal, it gives a vivid picture of huckstering, fairs, and frontier commerce. The book is a colorful primary source for everyday American business life.

About the author

J.P. Johnston

Twenty Years of Hus'ling began as an afterthought. J. P. Johnston, born in 1852, had finished a trade manual called The Auctioneer's Guide when friends suggested he add a sketch of his own life to show that the advice worked; the sketch outgrew the book and was published separately, copyrighted in his own name in 1887.
