Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Child That Toileth Not, the Story of a Government Investigation, That Was Suppressed In prefacing the second edition of this work, it seems pertinent to explain that in writing the book, I made no attempt to write a report of my investigations for the government, as some of my critics seem to think. I could not have very well done this had I desired to do so, because the data necessary for writing such a report, having been confiscated by the authorities, were not available. My aim, however, was to write a readable book relating in a plain, matter of fact way, those things which impressed me most in my travels, exploring what was to me a virgin field. In attempting this I was aided by what my friends seem to think an extraordinary memory, and by a mind trained through years of keen observation to see and think, unhampered by any preconceived ideas to confirm or to destroy. I wrote my story as it revealed itself to me, drawing on my imagination for nothing, but on the contrary aiming to depict to my readers those scenes, people and conditions as I saw them. How well I was to succeed in doing this was problematical, for I am well aware that all of us do not see alike, and what may appear as the truth to one, may appear false to another. But the result has been not only highly gratifying to me, but far in excess of any anticipation on my part. Those who have praised my book most, are those who are most familiar with the people and scenes I described, while adverse criticisms come from those who do not know, and invectives from those who, whether ignorant of the conditions or not, find it a matter of self interest - a matter of self preservation in some instances, not to have the truth revealed.
