Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifty Thousand Miles With Uncle Sam´s Army Pardon me, my dear Alfonse, for this imposition. Really, it was an accident. We "doped it out" for that matchless purveyor of news and intelligence, The Western Carolina Enterprise, with no thought of making a booklet; but so many letters and requests came to hand that the Enterprise Company decided to make the venture. Accordingly, the book was commenced in the middle and printed "both ways for Sunday," thereby saving many sheckles on the typesetting bill. But this modus operandi had its disadvantages. The "copy" could not be revised with sufficient particularity. Overlook, therefore, the many errors and shortcomings. We hope to eliminate these from the second edition which will be forthcoming in the near future, and of which you will receive due and timely notice. The story was started purely for home consumption and contained many localisms. Not all of these could be cut out. However, you might as well learn to talk Western North Carolina, as it will one day be the universal lingo. We´re comers. Senor Combes has written all about that mountain explosion in Central Mindanao, but we did not learn of this until after the chapter referring thereto had been printed - another improvement for edition number two. Seriously, the pages following are confined to the actual experiences of the writer as an officer in Uncle Sam´s Army, and it is my hope that the book will be the means of enabling many of the sovereign people better to understand the life of those who serve them.
