Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John B. Gough: The Apostle of Cold Water This is an old story retold. Mr. Gough has written and spoken so voluminously and charmingly of his life, and his career was run so continuously under the public eye that it is well nigh impossible to jot down new facts. Nor is there need of it. His experiences are so full of moral warning in his fall, and of moral inspiration in his recovery, that they will be profitably rehearsed for generations. All that any individual biographer can hope to do is to group the ascertained facts in a new setting. In the performance of this task the writer has made free use of the existing material, and here confesses his special indebtedness to Mr. Gough´s own records. When other and related topics have called for treatment, other and related books have been used. Although of English birth, we have appropriated Mr. Gough as an American reformer. He was an American citizen. His home was here. He voted here. His public career began and ended here. And his Americanism was of the most pronounced and lofty type. John B. Gough was a man of the people - an inspired mechanic. He began life at the freezing point of the human thermometer. At the age of eighteen he fell below zero.
