Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Valley and the Shadow: Comprising the Experiences of a Blind Ex-Editor, a Literary Biography, Humorous Autobiographical Sketches, a Chapter on Iowa Journalism, and Sketches of the West and Western Men This book is the result of a necessity which was suddenly and unexpectedly precipitated on me by blindness. I have seen much hard labor in my life, in the school-room and in the sanctum; but it was always my misfortune to be poor. I never knew a time when I was entirely free from some of the embarrassments of poverty; and when I became blind, and was suddenly thrown out of employment by the tremendous calamity which had overtaken me, my mind was in despair with reference to the condition of my helpless family. Friends, however, of whom mention is made in another place, came to our rescue, and saved us, for the time, from starvation. A year afterward they furnished me with means wherewith to secure the assistance of an oculist, in Cincinnati. Early in October last, three months ago, I became entirely and incurably blind, making it abundantly certain that I was cut off for ever from a return to my profession.
