Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Diary in America, Vol. 2 of 2: In the Midst of War Lying in that narrowest of beds - the very narrowest of all that a man can occupy save his grave - the berth in my state-room on board the steam-ship "Persia," I gave myself up last November to many nights of thought. And my thoughts were of many lands. First, that I should be infinitely thankful to Heaven for being alive - for having been permitted to confront so many perils, to overcome so many difficulties, to override so many mishaps, to escape being hanged by Butler, bullied by Stanton, bastilled by Dix, gouged, bowie-knived, or tarred-and-feathered, by anybody, shot by Confederate guerillas, plundered by Mexican gueril-leros, picked up by the Alabama, or knocked over by the yellow fever, - in short, that I had seen America in the Midst of War, and was well out of it.
