Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Kentucky Colonel: A Novel My affairs, if indeed it could be said that I had affairs, were in a condition to inspire a man with a desire to exchange a large territory of hope for a few acres of reality. I had just drifted, by the merest changing of a current, into Louisville, Ky., and, it seemed, by a sort of sudden arousal, found myself sitting in the rotunda of a hotel. I shall not enforce upon the reader the tedium of family history, neither shall I give in detail an account of my previous life. I had, as all my relatives declared, and as I strongly suspected, been pretty much of a failure from my earliest infancy; and now, at the age of twenty-five, I was a fair type of that class of Southern young men whose prospects of a life of thoughtlessness and ease had been destroyed by a decree which we all now cheerfully admit was issued by the God of justice. My early education had been impractical; my latter-day training had, as yet, been without result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
