520			_a"On a Donkey's Hurricane Deck" by R. Pitcher Woodward is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This humorous narrative details the author's unique journey across the continental United States, specifically from New York City to San Francisco, on a donkey named Macaroni. The book captures the challenges, adventures, and whimsical encounters faced by Woodward as he attempts to earn his way while adhering to a wager, resulting in a comedic exploration of travel and the unpredictability of life. The opening of the narrative sets the scene for the author's ambitious and unconventional expedition, beginning with the enthusiastic send-off from a crowd gathered in New York City. Woodward outlines the rules of his wager, which requires him to start with no money, ride a donkey, and earn enough funds to ultimately reach his destination within a specified timeframe. The story kicks off with amusing anecdotes involving the donkey's antics during the journey, the challenges of navigating city streets, and the author's interactions with onlookers, setting a light-hearted, adventurous tone. As he embarks on the first leg of his journey, readers are introduced to his initial struggles, the heavy weight of expectations, and the determination that fuels both his and Macaroni's progress, foreshadowing the entertaining escapades that lie ahead.
