Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Phantom Club Papers The publication of this small volume calls for a few prefatory words. One pleasant day in August, 1893, a few friends - all residents of Milwaukee and Waukesha - made a visit to a farm near Phantom Lake, in Waukesha county, partly on business and partly for pleasure, and before their return called on the late John F. Potter, a former distinguished member of Congress, with whom they had a most interesting visit. These gentlemen were John R. Goodrich, John Johnston, Horace Rublee, William P. McLaren, James A. Bryden, Benjamin K. Miller, Sr., E. W. Chafin, Richard E. Labar and Rolland L. Porter. The attraction of the lake and its environment proved so alluring, and the occasion so enjoyable, that some one suggested a repetition of the visit during the summer following (1894). This suggestion met with a hearty response, and out of it sprang the organization of the Phantom Club, of which John R. Goodrich was elected and remains president. It was proposed at the outset to limit the membership to twelve, but later the number was enlarged to fourteen. Prior to the month of June, 1894, Gerry W. Hazelton and John G. Gregory were elected members of the Club, and Mr. Gregory was chosen Historian and Secretary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
