Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Regenerators a Study of the Graft Prosecution, of San Francisco To the Average Citizen: Dear Sir: Permit me to offer you this little book if for no other purpose than to employ you as a pretext for the writing of a foreword. Though I do not agree with the writers of the long ago that a book rightly comprehended is but a peg on which to hang a preface redolent of the author´s charming personality and palpitant with his life-blood, I feel that not always should a man hazard himself between book covers without an explanation. The events which most deeply occupy the minds of one generation are often those of which the next knows least. This thought occurred to me some years ago, when as a result of laborious research I made myself more or less familiar with the career of the Vigilance Committee of 1856. For many years it was supposed that the Vigilantes of San Francisco were public benefactors, whose motives were untainted, whose performances entitled them to the veneration of posterity. Latterly it has been found that this judgment might be somewhat modified without incurring the suspicion of injustice. Mindful of the tendency of events to become so clouded as to make it difficult to trace the connection between causes and effects.
