Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Two Circuits: A Story of Illinois Life A friend by my side says, that his principal objection to this book is, that some of the incidents and characters are overdrawn. The "next friend" says, many of them are underdrawn. So, to strike an average, I have left it as originally written. It is in no sense an autobiography. Names and places are mostly fictitious; yet the majority of the incidents are as I, and others saw and heard them. They did not always transpire in the order here given. I had a love for the hardy yeomanry of the earlier days; for their honest, happy, off-hand manners, modes of thought and speech. I was at home among them for years, enjoying their labor, humor, privations, pleasures and worship. I have aimed to make the characters original, fresh and alive with the buoyancy and vivacity of pioneer life. If you, my friendly reader, are averse to a consideration of the ludicrous events that do, now and then occur, even in a minister´s life, I would advise you not to read very far in these pages. I have conscientiously desired that this book should help and strengthen morality and religion; but I have never been of the opinion that the humorous side of the world belonged exclusively to the kingdom of Satan.
