Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oregon Through Alien Eyes In attempting to shift the responsibility for the production of this book, I would blame three people, who coerced me into writing it. First, my wife, who objected to my hanging about the house all day, second, my young son, who abhorred my having leisure to examine his school reports, and third, an ill bred fellow, who after I had mentioned to him a few times one morning that I could write the greatest book of the century, said testily, "Well, why in Hell don´t you do it then?" I had intended to camouflage my identity under the pseudonym of "Clifford Clarence De Vere," and place in the frontispiece as my portrait, a photo of a film actor, deservedly and nationally known as "The Schoolgirls´ Dream," but you have to pay ready money even for the photo of a male vamp, and also out west, noms de plume are regarded with suspicion; it is not considered courteous, for instance, to ask a man "What was your name back east?"
