Apparently this work is not actually by Craig Hadley.

It appears verbatim in a book, "The Writers Guide to Everyday Life in the 1800s" by Mark McCutcheon, Writers Digest Books, Cincinnati, Ohio. 1993.

My understanding is that the 'F' word didn't make to American shores until the two world wars. I'd heard that the GIs picked it up from the Tommys and brought it back. Can anyone give a definitive primary source for its use in the 19th century?
