Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Boys´ Life of Captain John Smith Dear Boys: In telling over for you the life of this brave man, I have followed as nearly as possible his own words. If I have emphasized his virtues and said little about his faults, it is because I feel sure that we understand people best when we look for their good points. This does not mean that we must refuse to see their weaknesses, but that after all the virtues are more important. Some writers do not believe that much John Smith has said of himself is true. All that we, who do believe him, can say is that so far as we know, it has never been disproved; and though his words are often boastful and full of exaggerations, that sort of autobiography was very much the custom of his time. Modesty was not so much the fashion then as it is now. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
