Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Adventures of Alf; Wilson: A Thrilling Episode of the Dark Days of the Rebellion After the following chapters of this book were in type; and I thought my work completed, I received notice from, the printers that two pages of space had been left for an author´s preface, and a request that I should forward the same without delay. As book-making is regulated by established customs, I suppose, that in order to please the printers and conform to these old established usages, I ought to fill these two pages with an apology for writing a book, or, rather, for my unfitness for such work. I have, in this connection, only this consoling thought to offer the reader - that had I been a better book-maker, I might have been less a Mitchell raider. Originally, the following chapters of this book were intended solely for publication in the local newspaper of my own county. My friends and old army comrades, after reading them, as they appeared from week to week, said they were interesting and advised me to publish them in book form, and here it is. If it does not meet the requirements of the critics, let them bear in mind that it is simply the story of a private soldier, told in plain words, by one who aspires to no literary honors, who claims no credit for martyrdom, whose deeds did not change the tide of a single battle, nor to any act of soldierly gallantry. None of these are mine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
