Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Man With the Hoe: A Picture of American Farm Life as It Is to-Day In reprinting this story of farm life, a few preliminary remarks become necessary. First, as to the title: "The Man with the Hoe" was written and had appeared in The Ohio Farmer as a serial before Edwin Markham´s poem, by the same title, flamed meteor-like above the literary horizon. There is natural hesitation in offering to the public a book under a title which is linked with another´s worldwide fame, and but for a fact which shall be alluded to later, the author would gladly exchange it for one less liable to invite "invidious comparisons." The damage to the poet will, of course, be slight. The chief danger to the writer of the present volume will be that purchasers, when ordering, will forget to specify the author, and upon receiving a copy of Edwin Markham´s poem, will find that they have their money´s worth, and fail to have it exchanged for the story - on the principle that "it is never safe to give up certainties for uncertainties," - resulting in a decrease of sales for the undersigned. So, in ordering "The Man with the Hoe," if you wish to get the story, be sure to add: "By Adam Blake." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
