Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years on the Streets of Milwaukee After Dark: Together With Sketches of Experiences as Newsboy in the Army, Capture and Imprisonment in Libby Prison, and Other War-Time Notes and Incidents On the very day when I confidently expected my book would be ready for delivery to 5,000 cash in advance subscribers and an anxiously waiting world for its appearance, with a new era of rejuvinated prosperity trotting along by its side, I met the printer who was charged with the great responsibility of producing it and he said to me: "Doc, you haven´t written a preface." "By the Great Jehovah, and the Continental Congress," said I, "that´s right. I´ll do it." As I crossed the street I met an old-time friend, who said he understood I was getting out a book to be filled with my hitherto unpublished experiences "On the Streets of Milwaukee After Dark, During Twenty-five Years," and asked what I was doing it for. "Fifty cents in paper covers; $1 in cloth," said I, "with no discount victims." He looked at me through his eyes fully a minute, then said: "Oh, that´s altogether different. Here´s a dollar; put me down for two." This ought to reveal my purpose and put my friends on for falling in at the first roll call. Some matters of interest may be left untouched. Twenty-five years on the streets after dark have naturally revealed to me some things which even a special policeman don´t care to touch too freely. But most of them will naturally suggest themselves to the skillful reader, as a wink is as good as a nod to a blind auctioneer. See? "Facts are facts - For he who dares think one thing and would another tell My heart hateth like the gates of hell." - Doc."
