Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Prof. Robert Emmet Odlum, Containing an Account of His Splendid Natatorium at the National Capital Though many notices have appeared in the public press of the country of the late Robert Emmet Odium, nothing approaching to a life of the deceased has been published. That task has been assigned me. I am his disconsolate mother, and having access to all his papers and memoranda, preserved by him with great care, I am enabled to place an authentic biography before the reader. A pride for his profession and a desire for pecuniary gain, which would better his fortunes and free him from the embarrassments of financial trouble, may have impelled him to make the fearful leap; but it was no foolhardy act, for a nobler motive also actuated him, and he has left the world the wiser for his daring deed. The bravery he displayed will be a matter of history, and in after years, when the story of the great bridge connecting the two mighty cities is told, the tale will be incomplete without recounting the sad legend of Odium´s leap.
