Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Your Uncle Lew: A Natural-Born American; A Novel With an eye to the remote chance that some reader of the present story knows of a little book printed in paper covers in 1885 under the title of "The Autobiography of an Old Sport," the author seizes upon the liberty of a foreword to declare the fact that the anonymousness of that simple effort covers his handiwork. The preparation of that character sketch was his contribution to a friendly undertaking having for its object the deliverance of the old man who was the hero of the narrative from the veritable pangs of want. Inasmuch as the publication, sold from the overcoat pocket of "the old sport," served to lift the last months of his life out of the shadows into the sun, and finally to lay what was mortal of him under a modest stone, its original and worthiest design was happily fulfilled.
