A Pickle for the Knowing Ones is an autobiographical book written in 1802 by American businessman Timothy Dexter. The book is known for its strange spelling, grammar mistakes, and lack of punctuation. Dexter, who became wealthy through lucky business decisions like sending coal to Newcastle during a miners' strike, uses the book to complain about politicians and the clergy while praising himself. He even suggests he should be emperor of the U.S. A second edition of the book included punctuation, with instructions for readers to "peper and solt it as they plese."

Timothy Dexter

Timothy Dexter was an eccentric American businessman and author best known for his bizarrely successful ventures and his chaotic book, A Pickle for the Knowing Ones (1802). Despite having little formal education, Dexter amassed wealth through unconventional investments, like shipping coal to Newcastle, which improbably prospered. His book was written without punctuation or standard spelling, embodying his unconventional personality. Dexter’s oddities and unlikely achievements have cemented him as a unique figure in American history.
