Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Glenwood of Shipbay I like life, my own and other people´s. That is the reason I shall write a biography, the biography of Tom Glenwood. The reason I write Tom Glenwood´s biography instead of another´s is that I can learn the facts of his life for Tom is practically devoid of reticences. And then, I like Tom, I like Minna whom he loves. We are all Shipbay people together. I might have chosen Farragut´s life to describe, for I have collected books and papers concerning him ever since that sultry day in ´61 on which I chatted with him in the cabin of the Hartford at Ship Island. I was super-cargo of the Firefly and had recently been in New Orleans. Tom´s father was mate. Farragut desired information about New Orleans. We had a glass of wine together. What satisfaction I have to this day telling about the glass of wine I had with Farragut. Tom is probably tired hearing me tell of it.
