Mitchell, J. A.: The Last American, v.1, 4 July 2008
 

An apocalyptic sci fi tale set in 2951, this short work was first published in 1889 and is a commentary about American society that probably mirrors the opinions of many today. Taken with a hefty grain of salt, I enjoyed it for its sarcasm and many puns (e.g., Dimph-yoo-chur, Ad-el-pate, Nofuhl).

I apologize for the poor formatting. The PRC version is notably ugly. BD is being particularly unkind today and won't even let me define a book author without destroying the formatting elsewhere.

EDIT: I have replaced the previous unillustrated version (23 downloads to date) with this illustrated version that combines a later edition of the text with the illustrations from an 1889 edition (thanks, Google Books). This PRC edition includes the correct diacritical marks which the LRF and IMP versions don't support.
